Outside of the general case, are there any instances where it wouldn't make sense to install these tools? I find moused to be a less helpful tool on my text only console VMs, but my use case seems likes the minority, not the majority. The other tools seem really useful though when dealing with fun terminal emulation issues, but does it make sense to install these tools on a device like a tablet for instance where the user interface is X11? Thanks!help
