As far as I know/have used, gvim is simply vim, but for lack of a better
comparison, in its own terminal. The same thing you would have if you were
to type "vim" at the command line.

Honestly, the only thing I know how to do with the mouse in gvim is paste
(middle click in linux). Or access the menus. That's one of the main reasons
I /use/ vim - so I don't have to touch the mouse :)

As far as any keyboard commands that I use, I've not seen any difference
between vim, vi, and gvim. The main difference is syntax highlighting.
