This, AFAIK, only captures terminal output and timing.

The cursor highlighting is a feature of the terminal, and is not part of the stream of text and terminal control codes that this tool captures, much like it won't capture the particular font or colors you may have configured. That said, some terminals allow mouse input, which is handed as control codes to the program connected to it. The program could use that to implement text marking.



That said, if you use a multiplexer like tmux, I think it would be able to capture the internal highlighting it uses, which can be mouse driven.


That's a great idea!
