Description

### Feature Description

I want to use an option to require moving the mouse a bit more than just touching the edge of the screen to reveal the dock.

### Use Case

It's way too easy to accidentally reveal the dock when reaching for something on the bottom of a window.

### Compositor(s)

All compositors

### If Other, please specify

_No response_

### Proposed Solution

A slider in the dock visibility settings available when autohide or intellihide is enabled to control how much pressure it needs. This pressure would be pixel movement off screen needed to activate the dock.

### Alternatives/Existing Solutions

None that I'm aware of.

Research direction

Start by locating the dock visibility settings and the autohide or intellihide edge-reveal handling. Determine where a configurable pixel threshold belongs, then verify that the slider appears only for those visibility modes and that increasing it prevents accidental reveals while preserving intentional reveals.
