That is a very desirable feature for many people, and does exist in many other menuing programs, but it isn't possible for morc_menu itself to implement. The reason for that is because morc_menu isn't itself a menuing program; it's designed to be a feature enhancing front-end to menuing programs such as dmenu, rofi, and maybe even zenity. If/when any of those programs add mouse support, then morc_menu should automatically have it without any software patching. It's been years since I worked on this project, but back then the people behind dmenu and rofi seemed to be ideologically keyboard-loving mouse-haters (ref: ratpoison tiling window manager).

I just found that dmenu-manjaro's mouse-support patch has apparently stopped working. I have just applied an updated patch which will hopefully fix that again.

Fixed with dmenu-manjaro 4.9-5
