====== Disabling mouse support in VIM ======

Vim nowadays supports your mouse in the terminal. Unfortunately, it interferes when simply selecting text for other purposes. You can disable mouse support in VIM by:

Executing the following one-off command in VIM:

<code>
:set mouse=
</code>

You can also put the same command in your ''~/.vimrc'', making it a permanent change:

<code>
source $VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim
set mouse=
</code>

:!: The source command is required to keep all other defaults in place.
