To update (replacing the current version) run webi vim-gui.
These are the files / directories that are created and/or modified with this install:
~/.vim/plugins/mouse.vim
~/.vim/plugins/gui.vim
~/.vimrc
Vim has built-in GUI support.
It is turned off by default and when turned on may not behave exactly as expected.
This vim-gui plugin turns on mouse support with insert mode on click, select-to-copy clipboard, and other GUI options.
Create the file ~/.vim/plugins/gui.vim. Add the same contents as
https://github.com/webinstall/webi-installers/blob/master/vim-gui/gui.vim.
That will look something like this:
" turn on mouse support
set mouse=a
" keep copy-on-select and other GUI options
set clipboard+=autoselect guioptions+=a
" enter insert mode on left-click
nnoremap <LeftMouse> <LeftMouse>i
You'll then need to update ~/.vimrc to source that plugin:
" Mouse Support: reasonable defaults from webinstall.dev/vim-gui
source ~/.vim/plugins/gui.vim
