Unable to use mouse copy / paste when in VIM under CygWin

[johnuopini]

Not a big issue i understand but very annoying sometimes when working on an hybrid env like CygWin, so, once i get into Vim copy / paste with the mouse gets disabled, behavior is quite strange to me, because on a terminal i can successfully select lines, on "vim" its just not highlighting anything and on "less" the selection becomes "block" based (so not selecting lines but blocks of text like the standard Windows cmd copy does).

Am i doing anything wrong on my VIM config? Its pretty standard

ConEmu does not do anything with cygwin applications. At all.

Yeah i understand, but why ConEmu mouse copy paste works when in a CygWin shell and stops working as soon as i run Vim? It can't be related to CygWin as CygWin does not even know about the mouse.

Also if i use the standard "Cygwin Terminal" i am able to select text with the mouse regardless of the fact that i am using Vim or not so its definitely related to ConEmu somehow.

So, in the video i am doing the following (left ConEmu, right standard CygWin terminal)

• Select text from the terminal, select works on both envs
• Open VIM on ConEmu, select does not work anymore
• Open VIN in CygWin terminal, select still works

Remove vim from exceptions

Lifechanging. I know it might have been a RTFM thing but it was not mentioned in the Vim section, also not sure why is set by default. Sorry.

Not only wheel. Official vim able to handle mouse selection internally.
