      I find the "mouse navigation" feature introduced recently both very useful, and very annoying on the mac.

      I find it annoying because I very often (eg : every 10 min) confuse the pressing of the mouse +CMD with the activation of a keyboard shortcut.

      Let me explain.

      When I want use "double click" to select an entire word then copy it with CMD+C,
      I almost always start pressing the CMD modifier while double clicking.

      Then BAM!, the editor activates mouse navigation, instead of selecting the word.

      Well, OK, this is due to the fact I am a bit in a hurry when programming :/
      But I've faced this problem for one month now... And I am still unable to adapt my intuitive behaviour.

      Suggestion is:
      ⇒ let the user select a modifier to activate mouse navigation (eg: ALT + clic, or CMD + right clic...)

      Also, when deactivating mouse navigation, CMD+DoubleClick does not behave like DoubleClick (ie : it first selects the entire word, then deselect it on mouse release).
      This should be fixed.
