    Make sure that your terminal supports mouse, and / or the gui you are using does.

  • Please clarify “not working.” Also reduce your config (say, by commenting out) to the minimal number of things necessary to demonstrate the problem

  • i am using Alacritty on Manjaro i3, and alacritty has mouse support. In one of the forums is came to know that I can resolve this using NVIM. Thanks for the help

  • Based on your config in pastebin my solution won't solve your problem, but I had a very similar problem. In my case it was because I had the following in my vimrc: set ttymouse=xterm2 because it used to be needed to enable the mouse for "vim in tmux session" cases. But when vim is outside of a tmux session, that particular line caused the mouse to stop working in vim. Removing that line fixed things for me. Maybe adding that line could fix things for your case?
