Description

Hello, as mentioned in issue 1330, would it be possible to add a new feature that would allow switching between mouse_mode enabled/disabled in live ? Maybe like the scroll mode but with another keybinding (CTRL + m), without having to change the config.yml every time ? That would be great, thanks !

Research direction
The request is to add a keybinding to toggle mouse mode in Zellij. Look at how mouse mode is currently implemented and how keybindings are handled (e.g., in files related to input handling, configuration, and mode switching). The issue references #1330 which may provide context. There are no linked PRs, so the implementation path is open.
