Comment(by Kev):
Sorry for chiming in late, and thanks for taking up this ticket. I was
initially going to argue for having an arbitrary value option--after all,
if "1 minute" is an option someone would consider, isn't it possible "30
seconds" might fit their particular needs better? Or 35 or 40?--but now
that I see the screenshot and considering the UI goals of Haiku, your
solution feels like the best fit.
I really like this whole 'ALT' thing, that's perfect for me, like you
said. :)
I second axeld's comments, but I would change the labels to maybe
"Immediately" and "Never" and the "Wait" to "After". "None" and
"Indefinitely" don't match each other grammatically and "0 seconds",
though matching, is less slick-looking (my English teacher always had us
spell out numbers below 100, and all numbers of any magnitude if they
began a sentence.) That said...styles have changed since I was in that
class, and this is an OS configuration dialog, not an essay...but "Zero
seconds" is an option too. But this is really bike-shedding it now on my
part, so take it with a grain of salt. :)
