cy.click() internally triggers mousemove event without provided click event modifiers

[jasonmevans]

Current behavior

When the click command is used, it internally dispatches a number of events, pointerover, pointerenter, mouseover, mouseenter, pointermove, mousemove. The problem is that these events are not dispatched with any of the keyboard modifiers that are passed to the click command.

1. cypress/packages/driver/src/cy/commands/actions/click.ts

   Line 212 in 5a7eee5

   const moveEvents = mouse.move(fromElViewport, forceEl)

2. cypress/packages/driver/src/cy/mouse.ts

   Lines 372 to 383 in fd2a27d

   	pointerout()
   	pointerleave()
   	events.push({ type: 'pointerover', ...pointerover() })
   	pointerenter()
   	mouseout()
   	mouseleave()
   	events.push({ type: 'mouseover', ...mouseover() })
   	mouseenter()
   	state('mouseLastHoveredEl', $elements.isAttachedEl(el) ? el : null)
   	state('mouseCoords', { x, y })
   	events.push({ type: 'pointermove', ...pointermove() })
   	events.push({ type: 'mousemove', ...mousemove() })

This is problematic for my project because we have some functionality that sets state on mousemove while ctrl is pressed. When the click command is used, no modifiers are passed and that causes the final mousemove event that Cypress dispatches internally to clear application state. This requires us to bypass some of our affected application code while Cypress is running, which is not ideal.

Desired behavior

Desired behavior is that the click command passes it's modifiers into mouse.move so that those modifiers are applied to the internally dispatched mouse events.
