How to toggle mouse support in vim?
You can retrieve the value of an option by using its name with a &
prepended. So a simple toggle function for the mouse
option would be:
function! ToggleMouse()
" check if mouse is enabled
if &mouse == 'a'
" disable mouse
set mouse=
else
" enable mouse everywhere
set mouse=a
endif
endfunc
This toggles between "no mouse" and "mouse in all modes". You can use it via :call ToggleMouse()
PS: don't use something like this for options that are boolean, for these :set option!
can be used to invert them.
Add below code in .vimrc
file.
map <F3> <ESC>:exec &mouse!=""? "set mouse=" : "set mouse=nv"<CR>
