What's Wrong?
macOS Terminal.app lets you alt+click in command lines to move the cursor to where you're clicking. It works in vim and other terminal programs too.
But it doesn't work in Claude Code. Claude Code does some weird janky recall of historical commands instead, and then the cursor gets placed.
What Should Happen?
Alt+clicking in the Claude Code prompt using macOS Terminal.app should move the cursor to where I click
