Maybe switching to line mode and temporarily shifting the post-command
hook to pre-command, such that nothing happens post-command for the
mouse events, but afterwards, at pre-command, any keyboard events
first trigger a move to the process mark (at which point we could
shift the behaviour back to post-command again).

(All speculation; I'm not sure if that would actually work.)
