SUMMARY The cursor in vim running in konsole should not move if I accidentally touch the laptop's touchpad STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open konsole 2. open vim in konsole 3. open file in vim 4. make a two finger upward motion on the laptop's touchpad OBSERVED RESULT vim's cursor moves to a different location in the file EXPECTED RESULT vim's cursor should not move to a different location in the file SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 37 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.108.0 Qt Version: 5.15.9 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This issue is caused by some environment variable, as "env -i vi filename" fixes it.
Do you want me to go through the environment variables to see which one affects this?
This is a kludge to fix this issue: unset TERM vim still works but its cursor is not moving any more if I make two finger gestures on the touchpad.
This sounds like intended behavior -- some people may want to use the touchpad to scroll in vim, and you can disable it by unsetting TERM.
So basically you're saying bad UX is better than good UX? The cursor moves so fast it's of use to nobody.
