Vim under screen under PuTTY working with mouse wheel

gnu-screenputtyvimwindow

Is there any way to make this work?

i'd love to scroll my files in vim with the mouse scroll wheel.

Also, i wouldn't mind scrolling the gnu screen buffer with the mouse wheel as well, without having to type ctrl+a,ESC

Edit:

as mentioned in Isaac Rabinovitch's answers, the screen and vim settings are already fine. I think the whole issue resides in PuTTY alone.

Best Answer

Scrolling with the mouse wheel in Vim under PuTTY over an ssh connection works for me if I have executed this:

:set mouse=a

Tested with tmux, screen and no screen multiplexer.

Edit

As requested, here is the ~/.screenrc from the machine I used for testing. 

startup_message off
vbell off
bell_msg 'Bell in window %n^G'
defscrollback 500
hardstatus off
altscreen on
