This reminds me that MC supports mouse interaction.
And playing around with it, i find that it is more elaborate than i first anticipated. The menus can even be operated via the scroll wheel, and it is sensitive to where the mouse is hovering.
All in all i find myself pondering if more up to date console web browser is possible. Perhaps using the framebuffer rather than X to display sites (or maybe go all out and implement it using sixel).
Same here! I picked up htop ~2011 and learned about mouse support in ~2014. :D
Also- if you're on a Mac and you use tmux I just started trying out the tmux integration with iterm2. Pros and cons but it's interesting to see first class OS windows for tmux.
