Thanks, I just tried in 4.6 and it works with the arrow cursor keys, and ^T P is the shortcut. The mouse won't work for ad hoc cursor placement though, with -mouse on the command line. Do you know if there's a workaround?
- pwg 4y agoNo, I don't, but 'mouse' support must also be supported by the terminal emulator you use. The joe manpage only mentions xterm, so try running it in an xterm to see if mouse support works.
- themodelplumber 4y agoThanks, doesn't seem to work in xterm either unfortunately. I will have to look through the manual later.
- pwg 4y agoTo get the mouse to move the cursor beyond line endings you also have to give the -floatmouse CLI option to joe. It also seems that you do need to enter lines before the cursor will position below the end of the file (which for an empty file is at the top of the window). Otherwise, for me, in an xterm, with -floatmouse and -mouse activated, cursor positioning via the mouse in an xterm works just fine. If you already have text in the file, then just -mouse allows positioning on the existing text.
