在 Mac 终端的 Vim 中滚动

Use gVim, which gives you a text editing environment in a window you can scroll. Terminal is not involved when using gVim.

You can read this article, but I'm pretty sure since the default terminal in Mac OS X has a built-in scrollbar, the mousewheel commands automatically go to it. You could definitely use gVim as suggested in the previous answer. I find that I don't generally want to use the mouse in Vim though as it takes my hands off the keyboard.

I just use 50j to go down and 50k to go up. Not exactly scrolling, but it works pretty well.

I'm using xterm in X11 (XQuartz 2.3.4) and vim works very fine with mouse and also suport 256 colors.

Here is the ~/.Xresources I use to make my xterm nicer in X11:

XTerm*faceName: Lucida Sans Typewriter Regular
XTerm*faceSize: 9
XTerm*utf8: 1


xterm*saveLines: 1000
xterm*jumpScroll: true
!xterm*awaitInput: true
!xterm*multiScroll: true


XTerm*scrollBar: false
xterm*scrollbar*thickness: 16
xterm*rightScrollBar: true


XTerm*foreground: white
XTerm*background: grey10
!XTerm*background: black
XTerm*cursorColor: yellow


xterm*visualBell: false


xterm*loginShell: true

Little tips, to remove the bell sound in X11's xterm type this command:

xset b 0

I would recommend using iTerm - it has so many advantages over Terminal eg Mouse support, 256 colors, sensible copy and paste (auto-copy, word/url selection with double click, middle click paste)...

Use MouseTerm (and do make sure to install SIMBL first!) and scrolling will work like a charm, even remote, using Mac Terminal.

You need to fully quit the Terminal application (Command+Q) and then launch it again after installing MouseTerm.

And if you're using iTerm, add this to your vimrc

:set mouse=a

When using iTerm create a .vimrc file (if not already there) in your home folder and add the line:

:set mouse=a

Scrolling down in vim to view a file works after this.

If the mouse functionalities still do not work properly take a look at my answer in this post How to let vim behave on Mac OS X as on Ubuntu?, just add to your .vimrc

set ttymouse=xterm2

This is an old question, but a top hit on google, so I feel compelled to provide an updated answer.

Running OSX El Capitan 10.11, vim mouse and trackpad scrolling just worked(TM) for me in Terminal.app by default. However occasionally the mouse/trackpad input stopped manipulating the vim buffer, and started scrolling the terminal buffer. The answer was Command+R or Menu View --> Allow Mouse Reporting. Turning that on allowed the mouse/trackpad scroll operations to move the cursor in vim.

• Termanal Menu > View > Allow Mouse Reporting
• Terminal Menu > Preferences > Keyboard > Scroll alternate screen

Make sure the terminal is xterm & not ansi in Terminal Menu > Preferences > Profiles > Advanced. I accidentally broke scrolling by changing the term type in a naive effort to get coloring to work over ssh.
