BASH has both emacs (default) and vi keybindings for navigating around the commandline (going to beginning of line, end of line, back a word, forward a word, etc.).  See the BASH documentation for more details (or the documentation for whichever shell you happen to prefer).

But aside from that (which you may have already known about), why would you wish to use the mouse when using a shell?  The time delay caused by constantly moving your hand to the mouse from the keyboard you are otherwise typing on would probably outweigh the benefits...not to mention that the accuracy would be poor, so you would end up wiggling the mouse back and forth to get it just to the right place.
