Description

### Description of the new feature / enhancement

Please add an option to add a key shortcut to warp the mouse instead of auto-wrapping on screen edges

### Scenario when this would be used?

When the cursor is on the screen edge, and the key shortcut is pressed, the cursor is wrapped

because it gets wrapped accidentally if you try to get the browser tab, for example, or anything on the edge

Thanks in advance.

Research direction

Start by locating the CursorWrap implementation and the code that controls its current edge-triggered wrapping. Trace how PowerToys registers utility options and keyboard shortcuts, then define the setting and shortcut behavior so wrapping occurs only when the shortcut is pressed and verify that accidental edge wrapping is avoided.
