Use your mouse in a terminal application in OSX
In OSX’s Terminal, you can position the text caret using your mouse. Open Terminal: Window Settings, click on Emulation in the drop-down list and check “Option Click to position cursor”. Now, when using terminal, you can hold alt/option and click with your mouse, and the cursor will relocate there. I believe Terminal determines the appropriate keystrokes to relocate the cursor, because opening a split window in Vim will allow you to navigate within the open document this way but not across the window split.
This is tested on OSX 10.4 Tiger
