How can mouse support be enabled in Tmux, Emacs, Vim, etc? How do I use mouse scroll in the terminal?

As an iPad application, Blink Shell comes with out-of-the-box touch and mouse support.

In SSH, it works right away. Mosh users need to use tmux or other terminal multiplexers as it doesn't support scrolling.

Enabling mouse support in terminal applications is handy when using an iPad without a keyboard. As you can freely change panes in tmux or scroll throughout your apps with your fingers.

A few popular ones include:

tmux:

set -g mouse on

vim:

set mouse=a

emacs:

(xterm-mouse-mode 1)

Currently, most terminal applications come with mouse support. You can check the docs of your favorite application to learn more. If you find out any changes or additions to the configuration, let us know here!
