My typical development environment is running a GNU screen session with vim in a full screen terminal (typically gnome-terminal). The problem I've run into is that the mouse pointer is not interpreted correctly when clicking on a character in vim beyond around the 223rd character in the terminal.
I have tried the solution to another question (adding set ttymouse=sgr
to my .vimrc
), and this solves the problem for running vim directly in the terminal but the limitation with the mouse still exists when using vim inside a screen session.
