Clicking a prompt line shouldn’t move the cursor to the start of the input

What do you want to change?

Context

I'm using starship prompt for the terminal, it shows a whole line for the prompt, e.g.

{username} {cwd} // prompt line
> ls -lah        // input

When I click on the prompt line, it moves the cursor to the beginning of the input. IMO, if the prompt line and input are at the same row, clicking on the prompt area should move the cursor to the start of the input. But if the prompt line is a separate line, it doesn't make sense to move the cursor to the beginning. One example, sometimes I double click on the prompt area to copy some text, then press cmd+v to paste to the end of current input line.

Proposal

• When the prompt area isn't in the same line as the input line, clicking the prompt area shouldn't move the cursor
• [Current behavior] When the prompt area is in the same line as the input line, clicking the prompt area moves the cursor

Why do you want to make this change?

It prevents unexpectedly moving the cursor to the start of the input line when clicking on a dedicated prompt line.
