+If the curses library supports the mouse, the TUI supports mouse

+The mouse wheel scrolls the appropriate window under the mouse cursor.

+The TUI itself does not directly support copying/pasting with the

+@value{GDBN}'s TUI and access the terminal's native mouse copy/paste

+text, middle-click to paste). This copy/paste works with the
