I don't know what cursos is, never heard of it.
but this is selection -
gpm - a cut and paste utility and mouse server for virtual
consoles
DESCRIPTION
This package, which is currently beta quality, tries to be
a useful mouse server for applications running on the
Linux console. It is heavily based on the "selection"
package, by Andrew Haylett, and quite a good deal of code
comes from selection itself. This package is intended as a
replacement for "selection", to provide additional facili-
ties. gpm isn't needed if you don't run text-based appli-
cations with mouse support.

it doesn't work that great, and you usually have to kill it, if you want
to run X.
