Is it possible to scroll the text by dragging the scrollbar so that

the cursor stays in the original location? The way Vim is designed, the cursor position has to be in a visible spot in normal, visual, select and insert mode. This cannot be changed without modifying Vim. When the scrollbar is used, the cursor will be moved so that it is always visible. Another approach to solving this problem is to use the Vim marks. You can mark the current cursor position using ma. Then scroll to a different part of the text and jump back to the old position using `a. You can also try the following suggestion from the Vim Online website: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/VimTip320
