I like mixing the keyboard and mouse. Yes I know

set mouse=a

exists, but it provides only some basic actions. I was wondering if you could map the mouse to allow moving split window panes around - something which is painful to do by keyboard. Do you know of something like this?

@ashwinvis @vim @neovim This _should_ work out of the box…? Does mouse dragging allow you to create a visual selection? If not, your terminal’s mouse reporting is probably not recognized correctly by (Neo)Vim, or it doesn’t report dragging at all.

@scy
I can select text, resize window panes - that works.

What I am looking for is a way to:

move left pane to right,
move bottom right pane to top left corner etc.

@ashwinvis @vim @neovim Oh! Now I understand. Sorry.

Good question, I don’t know of any way, but I’d be interested in finding out, too, now ;)

@scy
Indeed. Something is available in nearly every IDEs, and painfully neglected in Vim, Neovim :harold:
