I just upgraded my local xterm to patch #264, and found that I couldn't use <shift> with button-1 to do xterm selections any more (I alternate between vim selection (I use 'mouse=a') and xterm-selection depending upon what I want to achieve, like, I suspect, many others).

Unfortunately, <Shift-Btn1> is now scrolling the vim page up by a few lines :-/

I think this is down to a 'fix' in xterm #263: "modify handling of any-event/any-button mouse protocol; it now is active with any combination of key-modifiers."

  Oddly, <Ctrl-Btn1> on the xterm does still bring up its menu.

Before I spend ages reading xterm's button.c to see if I can work around this, does anyone know anything about this?

I've never really looked into xterm's mouse-reporting modes in any great detail.


FWIW, if I type ':<Ctrl-V>' in vim, then click to see what raw codes are generated, I see:

^[[M ??                    .. btn1, xterm#227 [variable ??]
^[[M ??                    .. btn1, xterm#264
^[[M$??                    .. btn1+shift, xterm#264
