It never occurred to me that terminal emulators would send escape
sequences for mouse click events.
I had almost forgotten about the possibility of translating mouse
events to arrow keys.
That is the oldest and crudest way of getting some utility from a
mouse in a terminal
emulator. The best thing about it was that it would work even if
the host application
didn't know anything about the possibility of a mouse. I know I
used that at least 20
years ago on early Macintosh with an emulator called VersaTerm. The
VersaTerm
documentation is what originally led me to understand that CHUI
applications could use the
mouse extensively - and quite efficiently - once they have a
comprehensive means of
handling ESCAPE sequences.
Yeah, I thought it was pretty ugly, too.
