Does terminal support mouse input similar to how VSCode does?

[GaryAtlan82]

Allot of times, I already have my hand on the mouse and just need to make a quick selection or move the cursor around using the mouse.

To do standard things such as place the cursor at a certain word and highlight one or more words. No different than in this example in Code:

To be clear, I am not talking about selecting strings that have out have been output by a previous command but the command currently being typed by, for example, PowerShell.

I did allot of searching and could not come to a conclusion. Some sources say that such a feature is only available in a WSL Windows Terminal, while others say its available in eveywhere on Windows Terminal but needs to be enabled first.

I dont use WSL at all but PowerShell.

Is there a way to do this in standard windows Terminal or atleast where PowerShell and CMD are concerned?

Cheers!

This is not something the Terminal currently supports, and supporting it is a Hard problem. #8573 has a LONG discussion on the technical challenges here. We can discuss more there. Sound good?
