Should proper mouse support be added in CLI harnesses

Hacker News Ask2026-11-16 00:290 views

Was exploring models on SWE-bench live and came across a unique feature in a CLI based coding assistant(Agav),unlike many other CLI based assistant,Agav was mouse friendly,I didnt had to navigate with keys I could just use my mouse to navigate and select text which I found very time efficient.Every CLI harness is shipping the same Ai rn neglecting the fact that terminals were built for writing natural language para.Now that so much NL goes in CLI, do you all feel the need of a proper mouse support like agav brought(click to place cursor,select,scroll etc.)?
