Example: ghostty-vt C Mouse Encoding

This example demonstrates how to use the ghostty-vt C library to encode mouse events into terminal escape sequences.

This example specifically shows how to:

1. Create a mouse encoder with the C API
2. Configure tracking mode and output format (this example uses SGR)
3. Set terminal geometry for pixel-to-cell coordinate mapping
4. Create and configure a mouse event
5. Encode the mouse event into a terminal escape sequence

The example encodes a left button press at pixel position (50, 40) using SGR format, producing an escape sequence like \x1b[<0;6;3M.

Usage

Run the program:

zig build run
