Description
I would like to disable pane selection when a mouse click is made. This is causing problem when I try to copy a text from one pane and paste it in another pane.
I want to navigate through panes only through key bindings. I am using hyper-pane extension.
Please check if this is possible or consider this as a feature request.
In this gif, you can see the pane selection changes while selecting a text. I could simply select the text in top pane and make a middle click.

Research direction
Start by examining how Hyper and the hyper-pane extension handle pane selection during mouse text selection and middle-click paste, reproducing the behavior shown in the linked GIF. Done should mean mouse clicks no longer change the selected pane while pane navigation through key bindings continues to work.
