Hi,
for me the default of 'set mouse=a' is a misfeature, so I want to
disable it globally (my mouse usage ends after marking +
middle-click pasting of text in the terminal, that works fine
without pressing shift).
Unfortunately 'set mouse=' does not work in /etc/vim/vimrc.local, it is
just ignored. Other options work there.
But it works if (even an empty) ~/.vimrc does exist.
This is with vim.basic, running as root, in a fresh stretch install,
three ssh hops, a screen and a su away (where I wouldn't expect a
mouse to be usable) in case it does matter.
While trying to debug this, I also noticed discrepancies in what is set
by default, depending on whether an (empty) ~/.vimrc exists:
* without ~/.vimrc:
:set
--- Options ---
display=truncate incsearch nolangremap mouse=a
ruler showcmd ttimeoutlen=100 ttymouse=xterm
history=200 langnoremap nomodeline nrformats=bin,hex
scrolloff=5 ttimeout ttyfast wildmenu
backspace=indent,eol,start
fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,default,latin1
printoptions=paper:a4
runtimepath=~/.vim,/var/lib/vim/addons,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/share/vim/vim80,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after,/var/lib/vim/addons/after,~/.vim/after
suffixes=.bak,~,.swp,.o,.info,.aux,.log,.dvi,.bbl,.blg,.brf,.cb,.ind,.idx,.ilg,.inx,.out,.toc
* after touching ~/.vimrc:
:set
--- Options ---
nomodeline ruler ttyfast ttymouse=xterm
backspace=indent,eol,start
fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,default,latin1
printoptions=paper:a4
runtimepath=~/.vim,/var/lib/vim/addons,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/share/vim/vim80,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after,/var/lib/vim/addons/after,~/.vim/after
suffixes=.bak,~,.swp,.o,.info,.aux,.log,.dvi,.bbl,.blg,.brf,.cb,.ind,.idx,.ilg,.inx,.out,.toc
The set of defaults should not depend on merely the fact that ~/.vimrc exists.
I consider this a regression from jessie, since vimrc.local worked
there without ~/.vimrc for all options I needed (but that didn't
include 'set mouse=').
For reference: these are the options set in jessie by vim.basic
independent from the existence of ~/.vimrc:
:set
--- Options ---
nomodeline ruler ttyfast ttymouse=xterm
backspace=indent,eol,start
runtimepath=/.vim,/var/lib/vim/addons,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/share/vim/vim74,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after,/var/lib/vim/addons/after,/.vim/after
suffixes=.bak,~,.swp,.o,.info,.aux,.log,.dvi,.bbl,.blg,.brf,.cb,.ind,.idx,.ilg,.inx,.out,.toc
