It drives me crazy that frequently when I click in a window, it goes into visual mode for a few characters and thus I can't type normal command mode commands. I'm finding I always have to press "v" to exit visual mode before I can use vim again.

I finally figured out how to disable visual mode using the mouse:

noremap <LeftDrag> <LeftMouse>
noremap! <LeftDrag> <LeftMouse>

Comments

In my vimrc:

set mouse=nicr

No more visual mode from using mouse! :help 'mouse'


That doesn't quite work, as the mouse still puts you into visual mode (which is really all I was trying to avoid).

Also, with my way, you can use Shift-LeftDrag to still select visual.


What works for me is :set mouse-=a
