Larger jiggling time period / random jiggle time within maximum configured time?

Hi, Is there a reason for the 60s as the maximum jiggle time? Tried to set -s:300 for e.g. 5min via command line but it seems all values larger 60s are not possible.

Not sure if this has already been brought up - what do you think about a setting to always jiggle for random time with the set time ?

It's mostly arbitrary; the settings slider needs to have a maximum where its right-hand end is, and 60s fits comfortably in the window while still being usable at common resolutions. It didn't seem like a particularly important limitation, as given the nature of idle detection, longer durations seemed to be less and less useful.

Not sure what you mean by that?

A possibility would be to e.g. to allow a larger time period via command line only. The visual slider could still show 60s (max) time.

With a random jiggle time I meant to have randomized jiggle time within the mas set time, e.g. once the mouse jiggles after 5sec, then 37, 52, 14, 22... any random seconds.

Is this still on the radar? I would also like this feature.
