In mintty, while using vim, I would like to highlight a few lines, and have vim
tell me how many lines have been highlighted. Is this a possibility? For
example:
0
1
->2
->3
->4
->5
6
7
8
9
If I highlight lines 2 through 5, I would like vim to tell me that 4 lines have
been highlighted. It works fine with the windows vim, but it does not want to
do it through mintty. Thoughts? Thanks.

PS: The real problem is that I am ssh'ing to an ubuntu box which I am using
vim, but the mouse is not being acknowledged. Although, I can highlight and
copy/paste, but clicking to a word to move the cursor there, it's not
acknowledged.
If I select columns or lines in vim, then the statusline at the bottom of the
window shows the number of columns or lines selected before the cursor line and
column numbers and percentage thru the file, or the modeline if multiple windows
are visible e.g.
-- SELECT -- 4 7,2 All
or
-- SELECT -- 4

Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis Calgary, Alberta, Canada
