I don't usually use the mouse on the mode line at all. I sometimes click
on the "[Compiling]" note to go to an active *compilation* buffer; I
find that feature convenient. I think it was introduced in 27.1.

In some cases, I hover over some parts of the mode line for
explanations. For example, when the buffer coding system is not
something I quickly recognize, like "undecided" or UTF-8.
