Very Computer

There is a text file as given below:
--------------
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  int x =10;
  float f = 5.0f ;
  printf("comp.editors\n") ;

Quote:}

--------------

After ':set number'

--------------
1 #include <stdio.h>
2
3 int main()
4 {
5   int x =10;
6   float f = 5.0f ;
7   printf("comp.editors\n") ;
8 }
--------------

Now if do copy using the Mouse, the line numbers are also get copied.
How can i avoid this? I don't want the line numbers to be copied when
I'm copying the Text in Vi.

Thanks!

[vi displays numbers before the lines]

You unset 'number', copy the text and set 'number' again.

Vi has no knowledge about what you do with the mouse so it is a pure
terminal issue.

As Peppe said, that is a OS thing, not a vim thing.
And I would have used y and p myself when I want to copy and paste. Saving
your precise time of moving your hand from the keyboard to mouse.
