I have Vim version 8.0.122 on FreeBSD 9.3 (installed with pkg). I have default global vimrc. I want to disable mouse support completely on my account, so I put

    set mouse=

in my local .vimrc. It works, mouse is disabled, but also autoindent is gone, i.e. I press enter in a .php or .c file and I'm back at the begining of the line instead of current indent position.

I want to have both, mouse disabled, autoindent working as it used to. What should I do?

  • They are not linked in any way. To debug, make a simple .vimrc file containing just set nocompatible, set all&, set ai bs=2 mouse= and check that everything works correctly. Then try to isolate the problem.

I faced a similar problem. This is what helped me solve it. On my computer the vim settings which made many things pretty are stored in /usr/shar/vim/vim*/defaults.vim, but this file was read only if there is no ~/.vimrc. So if you can either copy this entire file to you ~/.vimrc, or if you are an admin and want to make a change for all users, modify the file itself. Just comment out the line which says set mouse=a.
