Could you expand on how vim interferes? steps to reproduce the issue would be great.

Hi Ahmad,

Sorry for not reporting back for so long.

When you do
:set mouse=a
in vim it will enable mouse support.
This is the default in debian.

In this mode copy&paste via Konsole does not work properly any more.
Konsole will not recognize any selections made with the mouse and the "copy" menu entry in Konsole is greyed-out.

This "mouse support hijacking" even works through SSH.

I meanwhile found out that I can press the "shift" key to circumvent this in vim.
However I still think it would be good to be able to just disable any form of mouse features in Konsole.

Thanks & Regards
Simon

I would also love to be able to disable *completely* mouse event forwarding from konsole into the terminal. If anyone knows if there's a work around (like using stty or something to disable mouse support) then I'd be very glad to hear.

Terminal apps being able to handle mouse events are driving me crazy. The problem is, that every terminal app feels like inventing its own mouse handling. Some terminal applications actually *do* interpret CTRL-click *or* Shift-click so what happens if you want to mark text in the terminal in order to copy it (be it with shift, ctrl or whatever) is a roll of dice. It's driving me nuts.

It'd be so much nicer if terminal apps would just stop messing with mouse input altogether or konsole would not forward mouse input *at all* to the terminal.

If somebody knew where mouse events get forwarded into the terminal (if the mechanism works at all like this), then I'd happily just comment that code out in konsole and recompile from source...

Configure profile, mouse, miscellaneous, uncheck “allow terminal
applications to handle mouse click”

Thanks a lot tcanabrava. However these options are not available in my konsole 20.12.3 from Debian proper on Debian bullseye. 

Do you know what version of konsole I need to have that option?

Thanks again,

Being on debian you are out of luck, as they tend to take ages to update
software. Your version is - I believe - 4 releases old, toms of fixes and
improvements happened :)
I’d say “try to compile from master” if your distro doesn’t provides you
with latest.

Speaking to a DD here: they (but here evidently the "other" "they"s) are not tending
to their Debian user's needs...)... >;-#

Any chance you know in which released version this particular feature landed?

I remember when I was a KDE developper a long, long time ago and I did just
that only for the compile to take two days on my laptop, then failing with a
compile error, me filing a ticket or asking on the mailing list, being told "ah,
that was fixed, please pull", rince, repeat and finaly after half a dozen compiles
and a few weeks later giving up because I couldn't even keep up with recompiles
never mind actually getting any dev work done. I'm guessing a lot of stuff has
changed since then but the narrative "hahaha, Debian is not even able to hahaha,
just recompile from master" doesn't seem to have advanced much.

I have konsole 4:21.12.0+p20.04+tstable+git20211217.0029-0 and still do not find that option in profile. Do I need to enable some hidden feature or remove old config?

Using KDE neon Testing Edition (20.04).

It's in git master https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/commit/1ee961e4e284ba044a3c23e4ead8a22fa2170538 (hasn't been in a released version yet).

thanks a lot for the info Ahmad Samir!
