Howdy,
I've been using Konsole, part of KDE, for command line stuff ever
since
I started using Linux. Linux is all I've ever used. No windoze.

While Konsole is good enough for almost everything, there is one
feature
I wish it had. The ability to edit with the mouse. I don't know of a
way to make it do this. The only way I know of to edit a command,
left
arrow to what you want to edit and change it. I'd like to find one
where I can use the mouse to place the cursor and edit from there.
Even
maybe highlight and replace. As far as I know, Konsole doesn't have
that ability.
I looked in x11-terms and there is a few options, I think. I tried
looking at home pages and such but none of them mention a feature like
this but it may have it. I was wondering if anyone knows of a
terminal
emulator that allows the mouse to place the cursor to edit parts or
whole sections of a command. Some of my commands are really long and
it
seems the part I want to edit is always at the beginning. :/
Hoping for some ideas.
I don't remember how I initially set it up, but I can use emacs
commands (not sure if it was related to konsole or bash) so I can use
up and down arrows or Ctl-p/Ctl-n to move back and forth in previous
commands, then Ctl-a to go to the beginning of the line, etc. I
suspect you can get vim style keys to do the same, if that's your
preference.
Sorry, but I have no idea how to tell if any terminal emulator is truly
a gui, where clicking on a character in the middle of the window
actually sets the cursor at that point, to be recognized by both the
terminal and the shell you are running.
