How people get the mouse working in the terminal is one of those things I've always wondered how they do it, but never look into it because then the magic is gone. As a daily software engineer it's nice to have some things remain as magic

AIUI, there's a special mode for the running app to grab mouse input in the terminal. Otherwise, the mouse is just used for copy&paste. This applies to both Windows and Linux btw.
Must resist urge to explain
