I really don't care to click anything in a terminal, and I don't understand why its being added more and more.

When Claude added it, I immediately hated it since you click into the terminal and accidentally click something.

100%

I don't mind something that requires a modifier key like Shift+click to follow a URL

But so many times now I'll click to get focus and now that's selected some option or opened some pane.

If I wanted that, I'd use the Claude Desktop app!

As a total side tangent, but I really like the following flow: focus follows mouse but focus doesn't raise the window, clicking on the top bar, or Win+Click raises it (notice how neither of these 2 results in an interaction).

Unfortunately, of the popular DE's, this is only supported in Xfce (?), and it's not supported in Windows or macOS afaik.

		tmux has that these days and it’s great if you have a big monitor with a lot of panes, just move the mouse to focus.

It might be different if these things leaned a little bit into acme - or at least had some justification for what was similar and what was difficult [hah, Freudian autocorrect. Meant: different]. Like; do you want to be a powerful text-oriented tool, or just a mostly-dumb print out?

There are reasons for both - but ignorance shouldn't be one.

Hopefully they add an option to atleast disable it

Or can we do it with a cli wrapper process?

Actually, I’d really like to know the answer to this. I’m not a fan of clickable TUIs. Mouse events in my terminal are one of the banes of my existence.

But, if they are more popular with others, that would be helpful to know.

		I'm pretty happy with highlight text and copy to clipboard. Yes, it is part of clicking.

  I don't care about clicking into the terminal. I don't understand why people do this more and more.

  You just need to use your keyboard shortcuts correctly and navigate the tmux/kitty session as it's intended to.

See that's all a matter of workflow? You don't understand it because it's just not for you
