Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Cinnamon 5.4 (specifically bef2930e7c82587e81d13daa160a0e00bf6151c9) resulted in the removal of the edge-resistance-window setting, which is now always enabled.

Describe the solution you'd like

Please provide a way to disable / toggle window edge resistance.

Additional context

GNOME 40 moved the edge resistance behavior to be behind a modified key, but as of Cinnamon 5.4, edge resistance is always enabled. See here.
