Make VIM on Debian Work without Mouse Interactions like vi

[scottalanmiller]

By default on Debian, vi is replaced with vim and configured to make it unusable as any attempt to interact with text by mouse causes it to freak out. It's the worst. But the fix is easy if you know what to do.

edit /etc/vim/vimrc

And add these lines..

set mouse=
set ttymouse=

Voila, it works again!
