.SH NAME
readline \- improve readline editing
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
A support package that tries to make editing with readline easier. At
the moment, it reacts to clicking shift-left mouse button by trying to
move the text cursor to this position. It does so by generating as many
cursor-left or cursor-right keypresses as required (this only works
for programs that correctly support wide characters).
.PP
To avoid too many false positives, this is only done when:
.IP "\- the tty is in ICANON state." 4
.IX Item "- the tty is in ICANON state."
.PD 0
.IP "\- the text cursor is visible." 4
.IX Item "- the text cursor is visible."
.IP "\- the primary screen is currently being displayed." 4
.IX Item "- the primary screen is currently being displayed."
.IP "\- the mouse is on the same (multi\-row\-) line as the text cursor." 4
.IX Item "- the mouse is on the same (multi-row-) line as the text cursor."
.PD
.PP
The normal selection mechanism isn't disabled, so quick successive clicks
might interfere with selection creation in harmless ways.
