Mouse support has arrived in the TUI: opt in to click, scroll, inspect, and drag tasks between columns while retaining the full keyboard workflow.
Mouse support was originally suggested by @DeLuke84 in issue #8.
New: Mouse navigation
Launch the board with mouse reporting enabled:
kanban-md tui --mouseClick a card to select it, double-click to open its details, click Back to return, and use the wheel to move through cards or scroll long task bodies. Keyboard shortcuts remain active, so mouse and keyboard input can be mixed freely.
New: Drag tasks between columns
kanban-md tui --mouseHold a card, drag it over any visible destination column, and release to change its status. The full rendered column is a drop target, including headers and empty space. Existing claims remain attached, unclaimed tasks entering claim-required statuses are claimed automatically, and WIP limits continue to be enforced.
Changed: A quieter, more useful TUI footer
The footer now prioritizes the card count and ? help, shows the mouse indicator only when enabled, removes the redundant board title and next/previous hints, and highlights shortcut letters inside readable action names.
Changed: Easier mouse-mode documentation
The README now has a dedicated mouse-mode section with the launch command, interaction reference, drag cancellation rules, keyboard fallback, and terminal-dependent native text-selection guidance.
Upgrading
No migration or configuration change is required. Mouse mode is disabled by default; continue using kanban-md tui for the existing keyboard-only experience or add --mouse when desired.
