If you enable mouse support. (set mouse for nano and set mouse=a in vim).
> Have you ever gotten GPM to work with X11 or Wayland?
That'd be rather... Pointless. X11 and Wayland already allow the mouse to work without GPM. Just enable the mouse in nano, vim or whatever, and it'll work.
- hollerith 7y agoWhatever terminal-emulation app (e.g., Gnome Terminal) you are using will allow you to select text in the app's window, but nano or vim will never know about it. I.e., the user's mouse gestures are never transmitted to the program (e.g., nano) on the other side of the pseudo-TTY (PTY). So for example, the user cannot use the mouse to move the insertion point in nano.
