Hi.

I noticed that some applications (for example, w3m) can react to mouse
events in the terminal. The following information is from the Vim help
pages:

| *xterm-mouse-wheel*

I assume that (1) and (2) are already set up correctly, since w3m in
xterm gets the mouse events just fine. Adding the <MouseUp> and
<MouseDown> mappings in Vim did nothing, however:

:map <MouseDown> <C-Y>
:map <S-MouseDown> <C-U>
:map <MouseUp> <C-E>
:map <S-MouseUp> <C-D>

Is there anything else I can try?

What are the values of the 'mouse' and 'ttymouse' options:

:set mouse? ttymouse?

Try

:set mouse=a

and see

:help mouse-using
