It depends of your terminal, for example Terminal.app what a shame does not supports it but most other does. — 3on, Aug 03 '12 at 22:33

nice but I just see keyboard event, not mouse. – Charles Aug 03 '12 at 22:33
Me neither there is a 'hasMouse' feature, maybe an complete bindings or just not documented. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/mouse.html could help. – 3on Aug 03 '12 at 22:47

I think it's the best way, as you said ncurses already has mouse support just the binding not. I will try to make the mouse support for the binding. – Charles Aug 04 '12 at 09:13
