### 1.18 mouse input

Many terminals allow interaction with the current plot using the mouse. Some also support the definition of hotkeys to activate pre-defined functions by hitting a single key while the mouse focus is in the active plot window. It is even possible to combine mouse input with ‘batch‘ command scripts, by invoking the command ‘pause mouse‘ and then using the mouse variables returned by mouse clicking as parameters for subsequent scripted actions. See ‘bind‘ and variables. See also the command ‘set mouse‘.
