Since I’m pretty new with vim, I (still) find the mouse very useful to click somewhere (to move quickly) and select blocks of text.

in my vimrc:
set mouse=a

and also
set textwidth=80
set colorcolumn=80

I can click to move the cursor, but not after the column 91. I really don’t understand why this behaviour and why this arbitrary limit.

    You are limiting the effective width of your document to 80 columns. No wonder clicking outside of this arbitrary limit – that you choose – does nothing.

    To be able to click anywhere, you must

    :set virtualedit=all
    

    but it doesn’t make much sense if you set hard physical limits to your content.
