Cool! Can this be included in the proposal? Can nano be made to use --mouse
by default so it doesn't have to be specified on every invocation?

Technically we are able to make the change in /etc/nanorc which is customized
for Fedora already. But there is a reason why it is not enabled by default:
The mouse handling in nano takes precedence over mouse handling in terminal,
which some users (including me) rely on. Neither vim has the mouse support
enabled in its default configuration. This might be better to discuss at
the upstream mailing list. Using fundamentally different configuration of
nano might be disturbing for users that switch between Linux distributions.
