6. Rn command :set mouse=a in vim
7. Scrolling happens successfully

Could you please tell me why this difference occurs?


The short (and possibly wrong) answer would be that rxvt is designed
to be small and simple: gnome-terminal is a lot more featureful than
rxvt, and a lot fatter, and this must be one of the extra things
that g-t can do.

I believe g-t maps scroll actions to <Up> and <Down> keys. Try mapping
<Up> or <Down> in vim to something and you will find that the mapping is
activated when you use the scroll button.


This feature is not present in the etch version of g-t. Must have been
introduced after that.
