So, i've been using VIM for 6 months now on my Win7 and Debian machines. Nothing fancy really just the basics and when i want to do something i just look it up on the wiki and it works.
One thing i like is being able to resize split windows with the mouse, scrolling up/down with the mouse and clicking to move the cursor. Of course i'm using the keyboard more but sometimes it's just handy to use the mouse.
My problem now is that on my new PC i can't use the mouse and it's driving me nuts, really..:set mouse=a
just doesn't seems to work on my new setup. The mouse still can select things, and the right clic paste, but i can't move the cursor with it and i can't scroll or resize anything...
I'm wondering if it's because i'm on windows 10? And the terminal is worst than the one on win7.
Does anyone have experienced a similar issue ?
>use gvim
No i don't wanna, i want to stay on the terminal
>install gentoo
I think i'm just gonna have to learn to do stuff only with the keyboard now. I know there's shortcuts for everything i was doing with the mouse but i did use the mouse for so long now that it's hard to switch just like that. On new small projects it's fine but on the larger one when i have to move around a lot i take my mouse to realize it's not working, then i spend time searching for a solution, etc.
Or maybe it is time for me to try emacs

Your hakzor nao

Just stop using the mouse.
nj = down n lines. Same for nk
nG = go to line n. Default is end of doc. gg goes to start.
C-) = forward in sentences, ( for backward
C-} = forward in paragraphs, {
/string = find string, n to search forward, N to search backward
F x = find x on the line.
While on brackets i.e., (, [, {, % will take you to the matching closing bracket.
You don't need a mouse in vim ever. Eventually you'll be faster than you are now with a mouse in anything.

By that time I'll have spent more time trying to master vim that I'll ever gain from having mastered vim.

use it while you code, install vimperator/vimium for your browser and use that
being in the mindset of vim in all your daily tasks will help you. it's useful to always be mindful of using movement keys. learning them is essential. there's no reason to use vim and use a mouse. that's just retarded and you need to get over the crutch of using it
vim is not that hard to use. it takes practice, do vimtutor everyday, code everyday. they go hand in hand and being proficient in both is better than having mastered either. you're never going to master vim nor programming

You'll get used to it much faster than you think you will. I did, at least. It was worthwhile because little edits to config files and editing non-compiling code is far easier with the simple commands vim provides you with. You can just get to the exact part and do whatever efficiently. It's not unrewarded effort.

I know that's what everyone is saying, it's just that it doesn't feel right now that i've been using the mouse for so long. Also doing that >>56987794
is awesome.

Well there's your problem, MS can't make a decent terminal because most people aim to use CLIs as little as possible in windows.
Just use gvim, it's far better on windows because of the greater control you get over the UI.
