Is thera a way move by mouse when into normal mode?

Hey :)

I think with the latest version of the history patch this should be possible in normal mode; in normal mode you can click a location, which should subsequently become active. If you click twice, the word underneath is selected and copied into clipboard, I think if you click three times it copies the entire line.

In insert mode this is currently not possible, might be cool to add that (+ maybe a way to leave normal mode & keep the current location). But I think when I had a look at this initially, the naive implementation seemed like a bit more work / error prone than I expected, because we not only need the location on screen, but also extract the current location inside the command buffer. But that's quite a while ago, I am not too sure if I remember correctly

or do you mean scroll up and down? That is currently not implemented, but should be an easy-ish addition (that you could also patch on top of the vim patch).

for moving up you can use:

historyMove(0, -(int)state.m.c, 0);

motion down is without the -.

you can theoretically add this to the shortcuts table, but that would be executed even if not in normal mode, so probably you should implement it in executeMotion or kPressHist; (wherever you have access to the input produced by spinning the weel up / down resp).

If you want help on this I can look into this at some point in the future and come back to you about this in this issue in the next couple of days / weeks

historyMove work ok for me.Thanks.
