It would be useful to have mouse click support for selecting numbered options (1, 2, etc.) in the CLI interface.

Currently, users must use keyboard input to select options. Adding mouse support would improve accessibility and user experience, especially for users who prefer mouse interaction.

Requested feature:

  • Allow clicking on numbered selection options to select them
  • Enable mouse-based navigation in terminal environments that support mouse events

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implementing mouse click support for selecting numbered options in the CLI interface would require modifying the terminal interaction logic to handle mouse events.

Guidance

  • Investigate terminal libraries or frameworks that support mouse events, such as those using ANSI escape codes or terminal-specific APIs.
  • Determine the specific requirements for enabling mouse-based navigation in the target terminal environments.
  • Consider the potential need for fallback or alternative input methods to ensure accessibility and compatibility.
  • Research existing implementations or libraries that provide similar functionality for inspiration or potential integration.

Notes

The feasibility of this feature may depend on the specific terminal environments and systems being targeted, as well as any limitations or constraints imposed by the underlying operating system or hardware.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implementing a workaround, such as displaying instructions for keyboard-only input or providing an alternative input method, may be necessary until full mouse support can be implemented, due to the potential complexity and variability of terminal environments.
