I'm not sure how gpm does it, but console application which use ncurses, such as dialog for example, do detect mouse clicks from it. vttest doesn't show them though, so it currently does it in another way. It has a patch for it though: https://sources.debian.org/src/gpm/1.20.4-6.2/patches/todo/xterm-mouse-for-console.patch/ > Do you have an example of program where this feature will be useful? I currently only know about dialog. But I'm working on a console keyboard which will need that functionality. I intend to use it on my librem 5 smartphone. It isn't finished yet though. Here are the sources of the different components of it and a video: https://github.com/Daniel-Abrecht/console-keyboard-multiplexer https://github.com/Daniel-Abrecht/console-keyboard-basic https://github.com/Daniel-Abrecht/libttymultiplex https://dpa.li/console-keyboard-multiplexer-demo.mp4 Regarding the other things you mentioned which could be improved, I'll create a new patch this week.
