Cursor positioning using mouse in bash possible?
In Vim I can actually position the cursor in insert-mode using the mouse. So I assume this should (technically) also be enable-able for the bash. Is it possible? This would be quite useful at times when small changes have to be made to very long commands.
(I am using fish actually, but I guess referring to bash I reach a wider audience.)

Does that work ? It should print escaped sequences on your terminal when using the mouse
echo -e "e[?1000;1006;1015h" # Enable tracking
If it works : test my script on github
