Mouse support in Midnight Commander running from under tmux / screen

in the topic about tmux , the question was raised about the inoperability of the mouse in the case when mc is running in a tmux or screen session.



After a little research on the init_xterm_support function, it turned out that you can enable mouse support without rebuilding mc right now, it is enough “right” (as expected by mc) to set the variable COLORTERM.





')

Thus, if you need the mouse to work normally, put the following lines in the ~ / .profile file

if [ $TERM = "screen" ]; then export TERM=xterm fi if [ -n "$TMUX" ]; then export COLORTERM=rxvt fi 

You can also track the solution of the problem in the corresponding ticket here www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/2479



PS: I would be glad if someone this information is useful ...



UPD: forgot to add what is desirable to add to ~ / .tmux.conf

next line.

 setw -g xterm-keys on

if this is not done then the combination of shift-arrows, shift-Fx will not work ...
