Using a Mouse in Terminal Emulators

Some terminal emulators under X support mouse clicks in the terminal window. In a terminal emulator which is compatible with xterm, you can use M-x xterm-mouse-mode to enable simple use of the mouse--only single clicks are supported. The normal xterm mouse functionality is still available by holding down the SHIFT key when you press the mouse button. The Linux console supports this mode if it has support for the mouse enabled, e.g. using the gpm daemon.
