The same thing you would have if you were to type "vim" at the command line. Honestly, the only thing I know how to do with the mouse in gvim is paste (middle click in linux). Or access the menus. That's one of the main reasons I /use/ vim - so I don't have to touch the mouse :) As far as any keyboard commands that I use, I've not seen any difference between vim, vi, and gvim. The main difference is syntax highlighting. -Wayne -- To be considered stupid and to be told so is more painful than being called gluttonous, mendacious, violent, lascivious, lazy, cowardly: every weakness, every vice, has found its defenders, its rhetoric, its ennoblement and exaltation, but stupidity hasn't. - Primo Levi
