Seasoned Unixen don't routinely regard the mouse as any kind of shortcut, because it takes a hand away from the keyboard, which is where the Force resides.

The default Terminal.app setting observes some of the standard Emacs cursor movement key combos: Ctrl-E will take you to the end of the line; Ctrl-A to the beginning. Ctrl-F, Esc+F move forward by char or word respectively, similarly Ctrl-B, Esc+B move back. Ctrl-T, Esc+T transpose chars or words.

For Unixen the mouse is mostly there to twiddle with while you think about the next thing you want to do. :-)

It's important to note that all of these commands (e.g., ctrl+e) work with Cocoa applications, such as OmniWeb. Want to jump to the beginning of a line or whatnot? Just use the easy keyboard Unix shortcuts. :)

Should this be a hint...?
