[EuiSelectable] Coordinate keyboard and mouse movement to only highlight one row

[LeeDr]

I'm looking at 7.10 and if my mouse is over the selection list items and I use my keyboard to navigate up and down the list it's rather confusing to see 2 items highlighted. When the keyboard cursor causes the list to scroll, it also causes the stationary mouse to select different items as they move beneath it. It would be great if only one was ever highlighted.

• on mouse move, highlight only the item the mouse is over
• on keyboard cursor up/down, move the highlight up or down from previously highlighted items (even if it was from the mouse move).

Showing multiple rows highlighted also makes it confusing on what to expect when I press the enter key. It will select the one I moved to with the keyboard, not the one being highlighted by the mouse.

Here's the current behavior on 7.10 on Nav Search. My mouse is over the list, and I'm using the keyboard to go up and down;

I'm looking for behavior somewhat similar to this Windows mouse setting Hide pointer while typing;

This one should definitely be addressed. I think it's also related to #4147 where the auto focus is too invasive (or not invasive enough) and causes the user to have to click on the list first then they can scroll to the item the want. Otherwise if they scroll first then click, it just focuses the list auto-scrolling to the currently focused item (first).
