>Different person here, but I wish there was a terminal where mouse clicks moved the text cursor (without holding any hotkey)

Umm, This is a `feature` in Konsole that I ___HATE___. I'd have a file open in vim that I'm editing. I'd also have a browser window open and I'm trying to copy text over to my terminal.

Well, wherever you click in the terminal window to 'activate' it for pasting, causes the active line to jump to that place regardless of where your cursor was before. IT'S HORRIBLE!!

I'd much rather click on the window, then ctrl-v to paste my clipboard. Now I have to be extra careful and just click on the windows decoration/header, or frame. This has caused me dozens of missed-pastes.



For vim it’s something like :set nomouse to disable this. I go out of my way to disable mouse control in the terminal too
