Problem

Is there a native option (ie. without installing extra soft/package/plugins) to enable mouse support in the Terminal app? Actually, I'm using a lot with the option (activating mouse features). But it seems that Terminal doesn't support all xterm's features. It appears (after some googling) that Terminal had once the mouse support, but I wonder where did it go. N.B: I really want mouse support in Terminal, not only for vim, so please, don't suggest MacVim :]

Fix for: Mac OS X Terminal: mouse support?

Low Risk

I found the answer! A friend told me the trick, it's so easy that I'm ashamed. Just press alt key and click! (with mouse support previously activated in vim) UPDATE for OSX 10.11 El Capita Please see Chris Page answer.
