>From my POV, using the mouse position *only* is as bad as use graphic
cursor pos only, especially for wires, that have a very small width, and
can be hard to locate on the mouse cursor.
Most of wire are on the grid, so they must be easy to locate.

SCH_EDIT_FRAME::LocateAndShowItem uses both:
First a search at graphic cursor pos is made.
If nothing found, a search at mouse cursor pos is made.

It should work fine for wires.

(unfortunately, it is not used in hotkeys to locate an item)
