Not enough. Just renaming it is not ok. mode-mouse does this:

- Click to paste outside copy mode.
- Copy text on drag outside copy mode.
- Copy text on drag inside copy mode.
- Scroll up and down in copy mode.
- Select item in choose mode.

The reason mode-mouse was chosen as the name was because originally it
just controlled whether mouse events went through to ANY mode. Now that
it does more and we have other options called mouse-* the name is not
ideal but just renaming it is not enough.

We could split it up into a few options but what? Since most people are
just going to turn them all on or all off we shouldn't have too many.

Perhaps just two: mouse-copy-paste (copy/paste inside and outside copy
mode) and mouse-in-modes (scroll wheel in copy mode, select in choose
mode, scroll wheel in choose mode too maybe).

In any case this will wait for 1.9.

Don't bother with ^v<>, even as an option. I tried it - with UTF-8
arrows and without - and I don't like it. Get some new suggestions we
both like.

These maybe but the first is definitely for 1.9.
