Blink shell touch actions to custom mouse actions

Hey, I’m using iOS SSH apps (Blink shell; Termius) which support various touch gestures; I believe they get mapped to certain mouse actions in the terminal. I’d like to customise the effect of these touch gestures in Vim. I am pretty sure I can’t change what mouse action a touch gesture

Manual join function and encoding

Hey, I’d like to write some scripts which will act like a join function but manually. If we open some file, let’s say in the computer it’s in some binary code where each character is a string of digits. Then I assume these strings get mapped to characters via the encoding; the most standard is

Sort lines, then tag, then unsort

I would like to sort lines in a text document and then tag them, and then revert the file to its original order. First of all, is there a way to tag a line, so that lines with a given tag can be quickly referred to, but the tag is not in the actual text? Secondly, I noticed with my sort command

Temporarily edit a vim document without actually changing file

Vim mindmap functionality

Hello, I wish to enable mindmapping functionality inside Vim by somehow treating regions of text as programmatic objects. For example, with the help of a plug-in, a certain line of text can be recognized as the "current node". Then, if I execute a command like "create new child node", it knows to
