Enable selection text with the mouse in the editor VIM (VI)

In new distributions after installing vi, the default selection of the test with the mouse does not work, which is not convenient when copying from the server configuration files. To enable text selection with the mouse, you need the .vimrc file in the user's home folder:

   For the root user, the home folder is on the path:

/root

   for user serg, the home folder is on the path:

/home/serg/

Create a file:

vi /root/.vimrc

set mouse=

   You can create a file with the contents in the  folder  root of the user with one command:

echo 'set mouse=' >  /root/.vimrc

или:

echo 'set mouse=' >  /home/serg/.vimrc

After creating the file, open the file in vi under the user who created the file and can select text it with the mouse and copy it with the CTRL + Insert buttons and insert it in the editing mode with the Shift + Insert key combination
