Listmates,

One thing I have to fix is vi's behavior of wanting to go into visual mode ever time I try to select something and vi's refusal to paste the clipboard in insert mode using the middle mouse button. I know this must be a basic configuration setting somewhere? I've looked for /etc/vimrc and ~/.vimrc but all I found was ~/.viminfo and that didn't help.

So... hoping not to have to reinvent the wheel, where is this setting hiding??

set mouse-=a -- Ionut
