How do TUI software like nano or tmux that support mouse input behave under Wayland? Do mouse inputs work as they should? Has someone here who's using Wayland give it a try?

I have no idea how ncurses (I guess) interacts with the mouse through the terminal so I don't know if it relies on X11.

Well, all the terminal emulator needs for this is the cursor position inside the window, which Wayland provides. Nothing X11 specific here. Ncurses and similar just ask the terminal emulator to provide mouse click Escape codes.

Thanks for the explanation! :)

I use Wayland and haven't noticed any problems with mouse input in tmux while using the Kitty terminal.

Thanks for your answer :) !
