  Text user interfaces do have mouse support, though it has to be enabled by the running application (overriding the default use of mouse for copy/paste). `gpm` even gives you support in the text-only console. And it should work over a remote SSH connection.

  I thought of that partly because my terminal can do that with its tabs, urxvt. Though it's not the same thing probably. But I know that nano has mouse support, which I have enabled. But it was more to describe real tabs. I don't see them in nano, just a bar at the top with "[1/n] filename", and no tabs. Searching for nano and tabs does not help of course, and I saw nothing in the manpage. So it was a try to describe the kind of tabs geany has.

  Yep - I find it very handy in vim (and yes, you can click on the tabs in vim too). Clicking and dragging selects things in visual mode, and you can also drag your tabs to reorder them. Also works in tmux - you can drag your splits to resize them, or select a tmux "tab" to switch to it. You can also select text and then do things with it, like search back in the scrollback for other occurrences, or copy it to the system clipboard. Right click even brings up an in-cli context menu.
