Naturally. My point was simply this: Dominique pointed out a possible reason why one might choose not to use :set mouse=a, and I mentioned that the very thing he named might be the reason that some people I know choose not to enable the mouse in normal mode. You responded by assuming that either Dominique or I were too stupid to know that there were other ways to give a window focus. >>> (Clicking _inside_ any window >>> will usually move its cursor, if there is one, to wherever you clicked, >>> or if you clicked after the end of a line, to the end of that line.) >> >> But what if your windows have no titlebar, and you don't have a >> taskbar!?

I don't particularly mind if you think I'm an idiot, but sending messages such as "here's how you use your window manager, dummy" should probably be kept off-list. I doubt anyone reading a technical mailing list will benefit from them, least of all one of the people with a history of submitting patches and solving problems. ~Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
