selectMinDistance

The minimum distance the user’s mouse must travel after a mousedown, before a selection is allowed.

Integer, default: 0

The default value of 0 puts no restriction on the distance the mouse must travel.

A non-zero value is useful for differentiating a selection from a dateClick.

This setting is only applicable to mouse-related interaction. For touch interation, see selectLongPressDelay.
