Move the Terminal cursor position with the mouse
Authored by: awado on Jan 17, '14 11:51:09AM

In addition to a tip mentioned there: "To reuse text you’ve already typed ..., just highlight it using the mouse then hit Shift+Command+V — no need to copy it first to the clipboard."

You can also just drag the highlighted text a few pixels, without pressing any key. It will be inserted at the prompt position. This drag&drop also works across applications. For example, when there is a PDF or a web page containing some code, you only have to highlight the code and drag it onto the terminal window. Even works with newline for RETURN.
