Question

Hello I’m a bit new still to gVim and have a vi and ViEmu(Visual Studio) background. One thing that constantly bugs me if that when I select text with the mouse it will enter SELECT mode. However, I can’t do anything from there because whenever I press any key it will replace what I have selected with the key and automatically switch to INSERT mode. How do I keep this from happening and keep it in SELECT mode or at least COMMAND mode?

Use:

:behave xterm

and put that to your vimrc.

EDIT : better follow Luc Hermitte’s answer.
