Pixel Mouse Reporting (1016)

Category: input · Tags: Xterm Extensions

SGR-Pixels mouse mode (mode 1016) reports mouse coordinates in pixels rather than cells. This enables sub-cell precision for applications that need exact pointer positioning, such as terminal-based drawing tools or image viewers.
How this is tested: Enable mode 1016 via CSI ? 1016 h, verify via DECRPM that the mode is recognized.
