鼠标选项在Git-Bash Windows上的Vim中不起作用

Question

I have set mouse=a in my user .vimrc , which is where $MYVIMRC leads to, and editing this .vimrc does reflect my vim client (for example changing the colorscheme works).
However, the mouse options are not working.

http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/options.html
In the above link I found some information about which terminals it works in:

Enable the use of the mouse. Only works for certain terminals (xterm, MS-DOS, Win32 |win32-mouse|, QNX pterm, *BSD console with sysmouse and Linux console with gpm).

So my question is, using Git-Bash on Windows, am I not able to use mouse controls? Or is there an issue with my .vimrc ?

Answer 1

Git for Windows is based on mingw64 form the msys2 project .
See more at " How are msys, msys2, and msysgit related to each other? "

vim was reported not fully compatible with it before .

You can either set options like:

set nocompatible
set backspace=2

Or make sure to use gvim instead of vim.

Answer 2

git for windows uses 2 terminals. One is the standard Windows console, another is mintty.

As far as I can see for git version 2.11.0.rc1/Windows 10, mouse works in mintty (I tried selection and scrolling), but not in windows console.
