Scroll to terminal while Vim is running

Mehdi Nellen

When I open vim in some terminal (like on a Mac) and scroll with the mouse, I am able to see the terminal output again.

If my terminal window looks like this:

user@pc$ "I'm gonna start vim" 
user@pc$ "after this line"
user@pc$ vim

If I scroll up using mouse scroll (in vim) I want to see all these lines.

Additional info if necessary: ​​I'm using xfce4-terminal 0.6.3 on Xubuntu 14.04 with Vim 7.4.52

Mehdi Nellen

found this to mimic the behavior

" Might as well use 'r' 'v' instead of 'a'
:set mouse=a
:map <ScrollWheelUp> :!<CR>

The only downside is selecting with the mouse, copy-paste doesn't work, so :!if you don't want that, use that instead.
