> That's the problem. It's not doing it for me on vim on the cygwin xterm, nor on a connection to an ubuntu server through cygwin mintty. I have gvim for windows, and that works perfectly. But, when I use the cygwin terminal, and an ssh'ed connection to ubuntu, the mouse does not work. I will try to see what are my .vimrc settings for Windows, cygwin and ubuntu and try to match it. I may need to join the vim email support. Thanks.

If you're running Cygwin/X (installed xinit) you should install Cygwin gvim(/X) 
for local use and run gvim clients from remote systems on your X server e.g.

	$ ssh -f -Y ubuntu-remote gvim ...

I moved everything under VIM=$HOME/.vim with VIMRUNTIME=/usr/share/vim/vim82 and 
cygpath -w equivalent under Windows in the user environment with 
VIMRUNTIME='C:\Program Files\Vim\vim90', also hardlinks from $HOME to $VIM 
files, as I used Windows gvim under Cygwin before installing Cygwin/X and gvim, 
with EDITOR=vim and VISUAL='gvim -f', and still use Windows gvim on the desktop.
