move cursor by clicking in programs that have mouse support
- iTerm2 version: Build 3.0.15
- OS version: 10.12.6 (16G29)
- ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist
Detailed steps to reproduce the problem:
- enable prefs > pointer > 'opt-click moves cursor'
- use a CLI app with mouse support
- try to move the cursor by opt-clicking
What happened: mouse reporting is disabled when holding opt, and the cursor doesn't move when you click around
What should have happened: ...probably the same thing that actually happened so that you can do other things like opt-click to select text
but do you have any suggestions for how to move the cursor by clicking in a program that uses the mouse?
some things came to mind:
- toggle mouse support in the program i'm using when i want to move the cursor by clicking
- toggle mouse reporting in iterm2 by setting up a hotkey? is that possible?
- somehow map a different modifier key in iterm2 for the 'opt-click moves cursor' feature (like the right-opt key or something, idk)
help is appreciated
