In `@src/dashboard/Data/Browser/DataBrowser.react.js`:
- Around line 1633-1646: The handlers handleOptionKeyDown and handleOptionKeyUp
currently only update optionKeyPressed when isAutoScrolling is true, so holding
Option before auto-scroll starts is missed; change both handlers to always track
the Option key state (set optionKeyPressed: true on keyCode 18 down regardless
of isAutoScrolling, and set optionKeyPressed: false on keyCode 18 up regardless)
while preserving the existing checks that avoid redundant setState calls (e.g.,
only call setState if optionKeyPressed would change).
