+### Mouse State
 
 The @Terminal.Gui.ViewBase.View.MouseState property provides an abstraction for the current state of the mouse, enabling views to do interesting things like change their appearance based on the mouse state.
 
 Mouse states include:
-* **Normal** - Default state when mouse is not interacting with the view
+* **None** - No mouse interaction with the view
 * **In** - Mouse is positioned over the view (inside the viewport)
 * **Pressed** - Mouse button is pressed down while over the view
-* **PressedOutside** - Mouse was pressed inside but moved outside the view
+* **PressedOutside** - Mouse was pressed inside but moved outside the view (when not using `WantContinuousButtonPressed`)
 
 It works in conjunction with the @Terminal.Gui.ViewBase.View.HighlightStates which is a list of mouse states that will cause a view to become highlighted.

+### Mouse Grab
+
+Views with `HighlightStates` or `WantContinuousButtonPressed` enabled automatically **grab the mouse** when a button is pressed. This means:
+
+1. **Automatic Grab**: The view receives all mouse events until the button is released, even if the mouse moves outside the view's `Viewport`
+2. **Focus Management**: If the view is focusable (`CanFocus = true`), it automatically receives focus on the first button press
+3. **State Tracking**: The view's `MouseState` is updated to reflect press/release/outside states
+4. **Automatic Ungrab**: The mouse is released when:
+   - The button is released (via `WhenGrabbedHandleClicked()`)
+   - The view is removed from its parent hierarchy (via `View.OnRemoved()`)
+   - The application ends (via `App.End()`)
+
+#### Continuous Button Press
+
+When `WantContinuousButtonPressed` is set to `true`, the view receives repeated click events while the button is held down:
+
+```cs
+view.WantContinuousButtonPressed = true;
+
+view.Selecting += (s, e) =>
+{
+    // This will be called repeatedly while the button is held down
+    // Useful for scroll buttons, increment/decrement buttons, etc.
+    DoRepeatAction();
+    e.Handled = true;
+};
+```
+
+**Note**: With `WantContinuousButtonPressed`, the `MouseState.PressedOutside` flag has no effect - the view continues to receive events and maintains the pressed state even when the mouse moves outside.
+
+#### Mouse Grab Lifecycle
+
+```
+Button Press (inside view)
+    ?
+Mouse Grabbed Automatically
+    ?? View receives focus (if CanFocus)
+    ?? MouseState |= MouseState.Pressed
+    ?? All mouse events route to this view
+    
+Mouse Move (while grabbed)
+    ?? Inside Viewport: MouseState remains Pressed
+    ?? Outside Viewport: MouseState |= MouseState.PressedOutside
+        (unless WantContinuousButtonPressed is true)
+    
+Button Release
+    ?
+Mouse Ungrabbed Automatically
+    ?? MouseState &= ~MouseState.Pressed
+    ?? MouseState &= ~MouseState.PressedOutside
+    ?? Click event raised (if still in bounds)

 * **Respect platform conventions** - use right-click for context menus, double-click for default actions
 * **Provide keyboard alternatives** - ensure all mouse functionality has keyboard equivalents
 * **Test with different terminals** - mouse support varies between terminal applications
-* **Use Mouse State** to provide visual feedback when users hover or interact with views
+* **Mouse grab is automatic** - you don't need to manually call `GrabMouse()`/`UngrabMouse()` when using `HighlightStates` or `WantContinuousButtonPressed`
