That is the right thing to do I think. The only differences you should see is when the mouse pointer is over a star in a headline, it should highlight with a mouse face, and if you click on the highlighted region it should cycle the headline open and closed. Similarly, the [ ] in a checkbox should get highlighted, and if you click on it, it should toggle its state. There might also be some right click menus.

Please tell me how do you use it? How do you invoke mouse to work in
Org mode?

I do this:

emacs -Q

in scratch:

(require 'org-mouse)

Then I open Org file, nothing I can see nor change with mouse.

So tell me how do you do it that it works.

Thank you,
Jean
