Vim Mode: Disable Mouse
Check for existing issues
- [X] Completed
Describe the feature
Feature
In Vim, it is possible to disable the mouse completely. You can click inside of vim wherever you want but the cursor doesn't change its position. Also scrolling with the mouse isn't possible then.
Maybe this is something to add for vim mode settings?
Implementation Idea
If so - two separate options would be nice: The ability of scrolling with mouse (on/off) and the ability of disabling the mouse (clicking without changing cursor position)
If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

Disabling the mouse allows you to really test the keyboard-accessible,find problems with vim
Think that would be nice to eventually have. Somewhat related: I use vim mode and one thing that initially frustrated me was when I had to use the mouse in another app and then moved the cursor back to Zed. If the cursor happened to land over a hoverable item, a popover would appear that I didn't want to see. Anyway, if you're running into the same problem, there is a hover_popover_enabled setting that eliminates that specific issue.
I don't think we should have a way to disable the mouse in Zed; if you don't want to use the mouse, don't touch it :D.
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/15898 will hide it when it's not moving, which I think is good enough.
(Also @baldwindavid surely you use cmd-tab to change windows :D)
@ConradIrwin ha, yeah...iirc this was more about apps where I have to use the mouse and have moved the cursor out of the way from my non-zed screen to my zed screen. The problem went away with hover_popover_enabled anyway though. #15898 looks real nice too. I still kinda yearn for a modal-first gui editor, but that dream died a bit alongside onivim 2.
