I really don't care to click anything in a terminal, and I don't understand why its being added more and more.

When Claude added it, I immediately hated it since you click into the terminal and accidentally click something.

100%

I don't mind something that requires a modifier key like Shift+click to follow a URL

But so many times now I'll click to get focus and now that's selected some option or opened some pane.

If I wanted that, I'd use the Claude Desktop app!

It might be different if these things leaned a little bit into acme - or at least had some justification for what was similar and what was difficult [hah, Freudian autocorrect. Meant: different]. Like; do you want to be a powerful text-oriented tool, or just a mostly-dumb print out?

There are reasons for both - but ignorance shouldn't be one.

Hopefully they add an option to atleast disable it

Or can we do it with a cli wrapper process?

  I don't care about clicking into the terminal. I don't understand why people do this more and more.

  You just need to use your keyboard shortcuts correctly and navigate the tmux/kitty session as it's intended to.
See that's all a matter of workflow? You don't understand it because it's just not for you
