Is there a way to disable mouse action on codemirror?

Question

How can I disable mouse usage in codemirror.

I want it to behave like vim editor where the user cannot move anywhere using the mouse.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

How about using pointer-events: none; on the editor container?

.CodeMirror {
    pointer-events: none;
}

Demo!

Answer 2

You can register handlers for the mouse events (mostly mousedown), and simply .preventDefault() them to prevent CodeMirror from handling them further.
