Not quite true, some terminals support it:


*'mouse'* *E538*
'mouse' string (default "", "a" for GUI, MS-DOS and Win32)
global
{not in Vi}
Enable the use of the mouse. Only works for certain terminals
(xterm, MS-DOS, Win32 |win32-mouse|, QNX pterm, *BSD console with
sysmouse and Linux console with gpm). For using the mouse in the
GUI, see |gui-mouse|.

Actually, every time I've actually used Vim in a console, it worked just fine.
