also, reverse video doesn't happen in xterm when selecting text with v, V or Ctrl-V in an xterm running vim locally. the reverse video does work when running vim remotely over ssh in an xterm. has anyone else seen that behaviour? with a local vim, i can select text with the mouse and have the selected itext in reverse video but only when mouse= not when mouse=a which is my normal setting. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
