bug 24075 tracks requested improvements to screen's ability to detect mouse support in a terminal. Note that they still wouldn't cause vim to work without the .vimrc changes ("set ttymouse=xterm") mentioned below, since vim itself looks explicitly at the value of $TERM, rather than checking for the kM termcap.

Closing out this bug as it contains a couple of appropriate suggestions for how to address the problem.

I've found that this problem can be fixed by adding a line like this to your .screenrc:

termcapinfo linux|xterm|rxvt|xterm-color ti@:te@:XT

The XT part tells screen that the 'real' terminal understands XTerm specific stuff like mouse reporting.

This works for me with PuTTY on Windows connected to Ubuntu GNU/Linux using the "linux" style terminal.

Note that you can override the application's use of the mouse by holding down shift, assuming the appropriate PuTTY option is checked.  This is useful when e.g. copying some text out of a console Emacs session into a Window application.

I have a similar issue with vim, screen, and the mouse.

I can position the cursor using the mouse in vim but not when vim is in a screen session.

I can confirm this.
Running emacs -nw in a screen session and enabling "xterm-mouse-mode" in emacs results in the following error message;
"<mouse-1> not defined" when trying to use the mouse. The mouse works fine in this emacs mode when not inside a screen session.

Hi there,

I tried to use Midnight Commander through Screen, and it worked nicely but I couldn't use my mouse. I checked the man page and it appears that Screen has some kind of support for the mouse, since various escape sequences are listed there, but it didn't work for me.

Using gnome-terminal on FC3 to access screen installed remotely on FC4, screen version 4.0.2.
