Description
Description of the new feature/enhancement
Work item introduced by #4856. Shift is used to suppress mouse events. A user may want to disable this feature.
If we want to be able to customize it (which I don't think anybody is asking for but I'll include the idea in here anyways), this may be a part of #1553.

Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #4856 to understand the existing Shift-based mouse-event suppression, then check #1553 for any related customization design. Clarify whether the goal is disabling the behavior, customizing its key, or both; done should include an agreed user-facing behavior and coverage for the selected configuration.
