Instead of splitting it, why not have an option for each use of the
mouse and mouse-mode enables/disables all of them (not the actual
values, but any checks would do ("mouse-mode" && "mouse-action")
instead). I can see some liking mouse mode in some contexts and not in
others, but still want the ability to turn off the mouse wholesale.[1]

X primary selection copy/paste :) .
