NAME

6       readline - improve readline editing (enabled by default)
7

DESCRIPTION

9       A support package that tries to make editing with readline easier. At
10       the moment, it reacts to clicking shift-left mouse button by trying to
11       move the text cursor to this position. It does so by generating as many
12       cursor-left or cursor-right keypresses as required (this only works for
13       programs that correctly support wide characters).
14
15       To avoid too many false positives, this is only done when:
16
17       - the tty is in ICANON state.
18       - the text cursor is visible.
19       - the primary screen is currently being displayed.
20       - the mouse is on the same (multi-row-) line as the text cursor.
21
22       The normal selection mechanism isn't disabled, so quick successive
23       clicks might interfere with selection creation in harmless ways.
