You can use the mouse + scrollwheel in the terminal as well. Eval (xterm-mouse-mode).

I looked into those, but my preference for not ever leaving the home keys is trumping using the scroll wheel for now.

You are right to not do so. Describing what is not impossible is hardly advocacy, however. There are a few uses for allowing mouse in terminal emulated emacs of varying utility. Same with the GUI version, but just to get basic mouse/wheel functionality is not one of them.
