You can move the cursor in nano with the mouse

Never thought i was going to read nano's man page, but today I did.

Nano is an easy-to-use text editor for console use.

It turns out that if you supply the "-m" flag, you can change the cursor position with the mouse. You can also select menu commands with the mouse, but you cannot select text. In fact, you lose the ability to select text to get into the local clipboard also, so my enthusiasm is waning.
