Add option to cursorSurroundingLines to ignore clicks

Testing #79834

It would be great if there was an option in editor.cursorSurroundingLines to ignore clicks and only act on scrolling via the keyboard. I like this feature but don't want this to apply to mouse clicks.

This request is valid and might be annoying to heavy-mouse users. Currently there are three major sources for selection reveal

• mouse
• keyboard
• api (either from the core commands, or extensions like Vim)

For this particular case, we may only need one boolean setting to disable this feature just for mouse but probably there are users who only want this feature to kick in when using keyboard but not from api and mouse, if so then we need an array or a setting which is richer.

Let's see the feedback and then decide.

#79934 was fixed for simple click, but the same issue prevails for case user intends to select text in area affected by editor.cursorSurroundingLines using mouse: as soon as single letter becomes selected, this selection is pushed out of the border area, text rolls under pressed mouse cursor what continues to select more etc.. what is hardly ever the intended behavior for strictly horizontal mouse selection that does not leave editor area:

I guess it was overlooked in #79934, but if there was proposed option to exclude mouse actions from cursorSurroundingLines interventions it would be viable workaround.

thanks, I agree that having ways to opt out for mouse has great value.

By default it won't do any scroll off when triggered from mouse rom tomorrow's Insiders.
