Description
Hello,
I have noticed mouse support works flawlessly on X11 terminals, but not in linux tty with gpm mouse, at least for me. I am using version 1.4.1 of micro, gpm 1.20.7-27-g1fd1941, Arch Linux x86_64 with kernel 4.19.11.
If it's not too much trouble, could you add mouse support for tty?
Lots of thanks.

Research direction
Start by locating micro's terminal input handling and the existing X11 mouse-support path, then determine how gpm events are exposed on a Linux tty. Done means mouse interaction works in tty sessions with gpm while existing X11 terminal behavior remains intact.
