I'm using cygwin and rxvt. It works quite well, since you don't need to

Put the following in your cygwin launcher (cygwin_rxvt.bat for me):

your mouse should work fine with rxvt (mine does!)

Now I can use mouse to jump from one split window to another under
rxvx, but how to resize one? I can't do it by mouse in my case, can
you?
You should be able to drag the status lines and vertical dividers to resize
the split windows.
I can confirm that this seems to not work, using the cygwin Vim version when
run in rxvt. Tab-switching and window selection does work, however.
First, thank you to Yakov for the "set mouse=a" suggestion. I've
had that in my Unix .vimrc for so long and didn't need in it in my
Windows _vimrc for gvim that I forgot about needing it when the
mouse didn't work in my Cygwin vim.
That fixed the problem completely for the case where I run an xterm
on a Linux machine, ssh to my Windows machine, and run Cygwin vim on
that Windows machine through that xterm. However, as Sun and Albie
have reported, it doesn't fix the whole problem when running Cywin
vim in a non-X rxvt running on the Windows machine: I can split a
window and select the active window with the mouse, but I still
cannot drag the status line.
Regards,
Gary
Just noticed something on this Linux machine:
- In gvim I can drag the status line with no problem;
- In the linux console (/dev/tty, pure text non-X), with +mouse_gpm and the
gpm daemon running, I can too;
- In konsole (with +mouse_xterm and $TERM=xterm) I can't. I can select an area
by dragging the mouse, but the highlight only appears when I release the
button (in gvim and /dev/tty it appears as soon as the mouse moves with Button
1 depressed).
It's hard to tell what happens: I might think that Vim-in-xterm only gets
mouse events when a button is released: apparently, it never feels mouse
moves, and doesn't see a buttondown as long as the buttonup hasn't happened...
Clicking (mousedown+mouseup) on a statusline selects the corresponding
window, but there's no way I can drag that statusbar -- or the vertical
separation between vertically split windows.
On the contrary, both gvim and vim-in-non-X-terminal obviously get the
buttondowns, drags and buttonups as soon as they happen.
Best regards,
Tony.
