Console-mode menus are easy to enable: here is the relevant extract from
my vimrc:
if !has('gui_running')
" setup menus to work with Ctrl-Z in Console Vim
runtime! menu.vim
endif
if has("wildmenu")
set wildmenu wildmode=longest:full,full
else
set wildmode=longest,list:longest,full
endif
" Mappings and abbreviations
" override Ctrl-Z (minimize) by a text-mode menu
set wildcharm=<C-]>
map <C-Z> :emenu <C-]>
map! <C-Z> <C-O>:emenu <C-]>
With the above snippet in your vimrc, hit Ctrl-Z to start the main menu
on the bottom status bar; then:
<Left> <Right> select a different entry
<Down> descends into a submenu
<Up> goes up one level
<Enter> accepts
<Esc> cancels (and goes back to editing).
For the mouse, I'm not sure how to do it: I've found it hard to reliably
detect any but the simplest mouse actions in Console Vim.
Best regards,
Tony.

My band career ended late in my senior year when John Cooper and I
threw my amplifier out the dormitory window. We did not act in haste.
First we checked to make sure the amplifier would fit through the
frame, using the belt from my bathrobe to measure, then we picked up
the amplifier and backed up to my bedroom door. Then we rushed
forward, shouting "The WHO! The WHO!" and we launched my amplifier
perfectly, as though we had been doing it all our lives, clean through
the window and down onto the sidewalk, where a small but appreciative
crowd had gathered. I would like to be able to say that this was a
symbolic act, an effort on my part to break cleanly away from one state
in my life and move on to another, but the truth is, Cooper and I
really just wanted to find out what it would sound like. It sounded
OK.
