When I use vim with gnome-terminal or yakuake, and I have mouse on ( set mouse+=a
), then I see an arrow as mouse pointer, and when I have mouse off, then the "insert" sign as mouse pointer.
However, in xterm (and urxvt), I see only mouse pointer. How to ensure that I see the distinction in xterm as well? Or if not using mouse, then some other clearly visible distinction?
Have you looked at

? – Heptite – 2015-06-10T18:07:49.247Is it possible to send the escape sequence mentioned via a command? Sorry not much of vim-settings expert, i use vim for fast movement/editing mostly. Also, this should be noted for other readers, if this works, it would only be for cursor and would not fix the mouse pointer issue I mention in the question – 0fnt – 2015-06-10T19:04:16.207
Oops, my mistake. I don't think console Vim can change the mouse shape. What you're seeing is almost certainly a feature of the terminals themselves. – Heptite – 2015-06-10T19:42:48.393
