Counter point; set mouse support and if you want to use it use and if you don’t don’t.

I’ve been using Vim as my primary editor for 25 years and at this point the keyboard nav is burnt into me.

I still use two finger scrolling on my track pad though. If I’ve been in another window I might also start the cursor at a point with trackpad.

It works fine over ssh too.

I think most newbies that care enough to try Vim know there is a Vim Way. They know about Vim Golf.

That get tiring all the time when you’re starting out. Sometimes they just want to get the job done until they learn, I’m ok with that. Just have a go.

It’s absolutely fine to make use of all the features Vim provides and use it any way you want because you’re always going to me slowly learning more.
