IIRC the issue is that it prevents *other* uses of the mouse in xterm. But I'm not quite sure what these are nor how important they are. Maybe it's time to make a formal request to enable it by default? I tried it in xterm, it doesn't conflict with the standard C-mouse-1/2/3 pop-up menus that are available there. > Not everyone uses xterm as their terminal of choise. Not sure how that's related. `xterm-mouse-mode` should only have an effect in the terminals in which it works. Are you saying that it is known to have undesirable side-effects in some terminals? If it is only enabled when one uses a xterm compatible terminal, I don't see any harm. But it would be strange to have xterm features enabled when ones terminal isn't xterm, and still support mousy stuff.
