In Vim I can actually position the cursor in insert-mode using the mouse. So I assume this should (technically) also be enable-able for the bash. Is it possible? This would be quite useful at times when small changes have to be made to very long commands.
(I am using fish actually, but I guess referring to bash I reach a wider audience.)

In bash itself - no. There's several layers to have in mind. Mouse support can be done in certain applications (vim, emacs, nano) some of which are built using curses library, but generally shells don't have support for it (and they don't rely on curses library). Additionally, the terminal window has to support that.

Does that work ? It should print escaped sequences on your terminal when using the mouse
echo -e "e[?1000;1006;1015h" # Enable tracking
If it works : test my script on github
