Hi, It would be great to be able to use the mouse to click to position the cursor in bash. I raised this with the Gnome terminal emulator here and they said "The cursor position is under the control of the application, not the terminal emulator. vte supports reporting the mouse click to the application, and the application can reposition the cursor accordingly." My request is that bash support the mouse information that terminal emulators pass to it so that it is possible to click the mouse button to position the cursor.
