In Linux and macOS, I can use my mouse with vim when I do 'set mouse=a', I can scroll thru the opened file, select text, click etc.
I would like to make this happen in Windows Terminal because sometimes it is useful to use the mouse, even when I'm used to keyboard shortcuts. I know that mouse support is added to Windows Terminal to be used in WSL, but its good to have it for other uses.

This video shows that I cannot use my mouse to navigate the app.

This video shows how I am supposed to be able to use the app, I can click, move, scroll and use the mouse.

Is it possible to make Windows Terminal recognize mouse input and use it like WSL? Thank you.
