    One of the things that really, really annoys me when I get lazy and use a pre-bundled set of (neo)vim plugins is how every one of them uses mouse functionality. I only use the mouse to copy/paste from the terminal to system clipboard. I don’t want it hijacking him and entering visual mode.

      pee bundled neovim add-ons might as well use helix.

        You know, if I can use vim bindings and regex, I might try it out. I tend to try to keep my neovim plugins fairly lightweight when I config myself. Not being electron is a big plus.

          yah helix has vim motions.

          their search mode and select is a bit different but once you do the tutorial it makes complete sense why youd want to scope your regex replace.

      does this suggest that copy/paste from the terminal is broken by design and we need find a better way?

        Vim has a better way, it’s called :set clipboard=unnamedplus (alternatively, one can bind anything else to copy/paste to/from system cliboards). Not sure why would one use a mouse for this, honestly
