Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

When I turn on Find my Mouse and set Activation method to Press Left Control twice, I want to select max interval to activate it between first press and second press of Ctrl.

I'm not native american and my English may be not good but please read kindly 🙇🏻‍♂️

Scenario when this would be used?

I often presss Ctrl to use other shortcuts such as Ctrl+C but stop doing and right after it, press it again.

In this situation, the Find my Mouse will activated but it's not goot behavior, and it can avoided by changing the max interval because in this situation the interval will be longer than when intendedly activating it.
