What you described looks like mouse scrolls the scrollback buffer of
the terminal and not the contents in vim. I think this thread might
help you: https://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/koivli/little\_problem

You shouldn't use vim at all.

Nano of course. Or at least ee but never vi or vim.

Vim is Not an Advanced Editor. Vim sucks and having to learn a whole
Syntax Just to Edit config Files doesn't make sense. Nano dies
everything you need while being easy to use. Basic is better. And
editing large Files works Like a breeze.

> nano is so basic you can't edit a big file without wasting tons of
time,

Please, can you (briefly) describe the waste?

I'm genuinely curious.

If I want Syntax highlighting I use an IDE. There is No need for
anyone anymore to learn the dumb Syntax vi and vim use. It Just
doesn't make any sense. Nano for config Files, IDE for programming. No
vim needed. For No one. You shouldn't hold onto outdated crap Like
vim.

There is No waste of time with nano. All key combinations you'll ever
need are neatly layed out at the bottom and they're easy to use CTRL
and ALT combinations. If you Edit a config Files that has to contain a
colon in vi that's gonna be Impossible because vi needs the colon for
controlling the Editor. Bullshit. Dumb outdated crap.

Not so.

Yeah but a hundred key presses later. Vi is outdated. Periodt.

No.

> Vi is

not vim.

I also dislike vi – there's this [humorous desktop
background](https://forums.FreeBSD.org/threads/freebsd-screen-
shots.8877/post-519987) – but let's not exaggerate.

Enough off topic, I think; the opening post was explicitly about vim,
not alternatives to vim.

That'll be my next Desktop Background at Work.

The question was about vim Not working correctly which I responded to
that you shouldn't use it anyway.
