If the curses library supports the mouse, the TUI supports mouse actions.
The mouse wheel scrolls the appropriate window under the mouse cursor.
The TUI itself does not directly support copying/pasting with the
mouse. However, on Unix terminals, you can typically press and hold
the SHIFT key on your keyboard to temporarily bypass
GDB’s TUI and access the terminal’s native mouse copy/paste
functionality (commonly, click-drag-release or double-click to select
text, middle-click to paste). This copy/paste works with the
terminal’s selection buffer, as opposed to the TUI’s buffer. Alternatively, to
disable mouse support in the TUI entirely and give the terminal control over
mouse clicks, turn off the tui mouse-events setting
(see set tui mouse-events).
Python extensions can react to mouse clicks (see Window.click).
