    Vim User Manual in txt and ps and pdf us-letter

    This note describes how to create a pdf (and ps, and txt) version of the latest Vim documentation. I got sick of trying to find a useable and current pdf on the web, so I just figured out how to do it from source and am posting the howto for others who might come after.

    This is current as of February 17, 2021.

    Turn off that pesky Visual Mode mouse integration in VIM

    This is a note about how to kill that mouse craziness with vim.

    If you're already in vim type : set mouse-=a

    If you want it off all the time, edit your .vimrc and add

    vi ~/.vimrc
    set mouse-=a
    

    Now you can select, copy, and paste using vim and your os's normal functionality.
