I don't think you can obtain this. In Vim the cursor position is always *on* a character. In normal mode this makes much more sense than in insert mode. If you use a box instead of a bar in insert mode I think the box will be where you click. Truth be told, I've never noticed this, because I might use the mouse in insert mode once every two or three months. Mostly I move around in normal mode. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
