Because Cygwin's console driver sets the ENABLE_MOUSE_INPUT flag on the console (using SetConsoleMode(), see also http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686033.aspx). This flag ensures that mouse events, including right clicks, are placed into the console input buffer rather than triggering window actions. That's in case an application activates xterm-style mouse reporting. Yep, the Cygwin console driver does indded support that, but vim doesn't know that, so you need to tell it via .vimrc: set mouse=a set ttymouse=xterm2 > 3/ Launch Cygwin.bat in a 'Quick Edit' cmd console, put "set mouse=a" in > .vimrc then type vi file1. > Result: file1 is opened.

Apparently quick edit mode overrides mouse input mode, so the console driver never gets to see those mouse events. > 4/ If you have Window vim installed (in C:\Program > Files\vim\vim72\vim.exe) and launch a cmd console (without launching > Cygwin.bat), using vim file1 opens file1.
