I'm sorry that you are frustrated with the responses you have gotten. First, the help on this subject can be found at :help gui-mouse and :help mouse-using. The short answer is that you can map <3-LeftMouse> to do whatever you can do with Vim script. Other than that, a single click moves the cursor to the mouse location, double click selects the word under the mouse, and triple click selects line-wise (which implicitly includes the ending newline). Yes, this is different from the standard Windows behavior. If, when double or triple clicking, you do not release the mouse, i.e. hold the button down after the second or third press, then moving the mouse extends the selection, word-wise for double click and line-wise for triple click. You might get almost what you want by moving the mouse to the left of the line, double clicking without releasing, and then dragging to near the end of the line. I know it's not as convenient as a triple click, but without mapping the mouse events, I think that is the best you can do. However, all the mouse events can be mapped. Some additional relevant help topics: Select-mode, gui-selections, and map. The problem with Vim's help is that it is so extensive that it is sometimes hard to find exactly what you are looking for! ...Marvin -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
