Problem
In fullscreen TUI mode, Claude Code enables terminal mouse tracking so that clicks can select options in dialogs. This causes accidental selections: clicking anywhere in the terminal (e.g. to focus the window, or to scroll) can trigger an unintended option selection in a visible dialog prompt.
Expected behaviour
A setting (e.g. "mouseTrackingEnabled": false in settings.json) that disables mouse click capture while preserving keyboard navigation (arrow keys + Enter).
Steps to reproduce
- Run Claude Code with
"tui": "fullscreen"in settings. - Wait for any permission/option dialog to appear.
- Click somewhere in the terminal that happens to be under an option.
- The option is selected without the user intending it.
Workaround
None currently. The settings schema has no mouse-related toggle.
