[vim/vim] feat(mouse): change Alt+click/drag to reset selection origin (PR #19957)
Fletcher Gornick
Hi! I previously proposed a similar change in Neovim (neovim/neovim#38943), but it wasn’t accepted there. I’m opening it here as it may be more appropriate for Vim itself.
Happy to adjust or drop this if it doesn’t align with Vim’s intended behavior. I'll leave another description below.
Problem
Alt+click/drag in Visual Block mode expands the selection relative to the furthest corner of the existing block, rather than the position where the drag started.
Solution
Update the selection anchor to the position of the initial click, so that dragging behaves consistently with standard mouse-based visual selections (left-click/drag).
The current behavioris from 6496966 for reference.
