Hello,
Classical example of when this is required is Midnight Commander - it
have useful mouse integration, but copy-pasting a filename or two is
sometimes a nice thing to be able to do. Some other terminal emulators
achieve this by not sending mouse events to the program whenever "Shift"
is pressed, and instead processing such events themselves. This patch
does just this.
