Timeout for OneShot #701

Closed rpnfan closed 1 year ago

rpnfan commented 1 year ago

Add configurable timeout option for OneShot, to prevent "hanging" Shift function when this is used in combination with external mouse combos.

Thanks for creating the ticket!

Please suggest default value for the timeout.

I looked up what the default repeat delay for a keystroke in Windows is. That is 500ms, with options for 250ms, 750ms and 1000ms as well.

So for that use case here I think 500 ms is also a good default. For "slow" typing ( about 24 wpm) long enough, but still not too long to have to wait forever, when one is doing another action. For myself I think I want to set it to 250 or 300 ms longest, as holding Shift to mark multiple items in a list will still work and then timing is not critical.
