You install gpm.

But even if you do that, in basically all other existing Linux console editors, from Vim to Nano to Joe to Pico or whatever, your mouse doesn't work because they don't understand mice.

Tilde does.

Vim and Emacs definitely do, and have supported it for many years.

TBH, I detest both, but I know millions love them.

But... on the console, with no X11? Really? I'm sure Vim didn't last time I tried. Not that it has much UI to operate with a mouse.

With vim, you have to `:set mouse=a`. With neovim, it's the default configuration.

Emacs has a similar setting.

Well, to be fair, I disable mouse support in vim :)
