Does OS X's terminal app support mouse? According to this answer over at SuperUser, OS X's terminal app should use Alt+Mouse Click to send mouse events to applications running in the terminal. I tried that with the Midnight Commander, but it does not work. I am running OS X Mavericks.

Is there any way to enable mouse support in the terminal app, short of switching to iterm2 or something like that?
Indeed, OS X Terminal can receive mouse input through ⌥-clicking:



However, certain Terminal apps don't receive the passed mouse input.



You can install MouseTerm which will pass mouse events to the terminal.


  
  Mouse button reporting.
  Mouse scroll wheel reporting.
  Simulated mouse wheel scrolling for programs like less (i.e. any fullscreen program that uses application cursor key mode).
  Terminal profile integration (with preferences dialog).
  


It's a SIMBL plugin, so you'll need to install SIMBL to make it work. I recommend installing EasySIMBL instead though.
