Description

Unlike the Mac OS version, which appears to correctly forward mouse events to local and remote command line apps since v2.0, the Windows version does not.

This makes scrolling through apps a bit of a nuisance if you're used to using the wheel. Also, clicks are not registered / forwarded either, nor things like shift+scroll, which are useful in tmux, especially if you have a person not used to shortcuts (or your custom shortcut setup) sitting in front of the machine.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing wheel scrolling, clicks, and shift+scroll in a Windows terminal session and compare the behavior with macOS; done means these mouse events are forwarded to local and remote command-line apps on Windows.
