Vouch Request: option to not forward the click that changes focus (follow_mouse)

What I want to contribute right now

Current Situation

Currently, the configuration input.follow_mouse with the values 0 and 2 makes the keyboard change its focus when the user clicks in a window. This click is forwarded to the window itself and directly interacts with it, which can cause accidental actions in the application depending on what is under the cursor at the time (a button, a link or a close icon, etc).

Possible Solution

Add a simple boolean option, when enabled suppresses forwarding of the click that causes the focus change, while leaving all other clicks and the existing default behavior untouched if disabled.

Why the above bug / feature specifically?

I must say that the motivation for this is more of a personal itch than a real requested feature, but I believe that it would avoid those accidents I described and it would make the behavior more consistent and predictable.

I acknowledge that:

• I have read the Code of Conduct and agree to follow it.

• I wrote this request with my own hands, my own keyboard, and in my own words.
