wsx enables terminal mouse capture so the trackpad / wheel scrolls through the session's history (instead of getting translated into arrow keys that claude reads as prompt-history navigation). One consequence: native click-and-drag selection no longer works by default.
To select text from the claude pane, hold Shift while dragging — most modern terminals (Alacritty, Kitty, WezTerm, iTerm2, GNOME Terminal) bypass mouse capture under Shift and fall back to OS-native selection. iTerm2 also supports right-click → "Bypass mouse reporting", and macOS terminals often accept Option as the modifier instead of Shift.
Clickable dashboard targets
Mouse capture also makes parts of the dashboard clickable:
- A workspace row's PR chip (
⏺ #123 open) opens that pull request in your browser. - A repo header's PR link opens that repo's pull requests
filtered to your own open ones — the GitHub PRs tab with
is:pr is:open author:@mealready applied.
The repo PR link sits just before the repo's path, normally in the same
dim colour, so the two read as one cluster identifying the repo. It turns
green — the same green a row's open-PR chip uses — when at least one
of that repo's workspaces has a pull request GitHub still counts as open,
so the colour tells you whether the link leads anywhere before you click
it. Drafts and conflicted PRs count, since the link's
is:pr is:open author:@me query lists them too; merged and closed ones
have dropped out of that list and leave the link dim. Folding a repo
hides its rows but not this signal.
With nerd_fonts off the link
renders as the literal text PR:
▾ ─── wsx PR /home/eben/workspace/wsx ────────────── ? 1 ! 1 4 ws
▲ click here
With nerd_fonts on it renders instead as the git-pull-request octicon
(nf-oct-git_pull_request) at U+F407 — the same glyph a workspace row
uses for an open PR. That codepoint lives in the Private Use Area, so it
only appears if your terminal font actually patches it; if you see a blank
or a tofu box in that position, the link is still there and still
clickable.
Repos without a link keep those columns blank rather than closing the gap, so every path starts in the same column either way.
It appears only on repos whose origin remote points at github.com,
so a repo wsx can't build that view for shows nothing rather than a
link that opens a dead tab. Self-hosted GitHub Enterprise remotes are
not recognised. Both actions shell out to
gh, which must be installed and
authenticated.
