I've not had luck with selecting a position with my mouse in a terminal shell, but arrow keys is rarely a problem. Old enough terminal or old enough host, sure, there can be some fighting involved. Of course, working in those conditions, sometimes backspace doesn't work either and you have to hit ctrl-H like an animal. But I haven't had issues with that lately.
