You can control vim with mouse? Huh, TIL.

If you enable it in .vimrc:

    set mouse=a

Parent means "control", not "select text".

And that's exactly what `set mouse=a` allows. You can switch tabs, resize panes, etc.

You can even control vim with a mouse when its running on a headless machine you're accessing over ssh.

Yes. In vim:

set mouse=a

What plugins are these?

Both Vim and Emacs have had mouse support built in for decades.
