Gesture timeout should not apply to wheel or rocker gestures
The gesture timeout should only apply to mouse gestures and not wheel or rocker gestures. It doesn't serve a purpose for wheel or rocker gestures and is actually hindering its use. Many people use wheel gestures to go to the next/previous tab or image/text zooming. We should be able to continuously perform this function without getting interrupted and timing out and then having to release the button and repeating.
I personally use wheel gestures for next/previous tab and find it's natural to keep the right mouse button held down as I'm changing tabs so I can take some time to browse the page. Having a timeout is annoying because I will usually take over a second to browse the page and the timeout always kicks in. I don't want to increase the timeout to anything more than 1 second because that will take too long to timeout mouse gestures.
Same problem with rocker gestures. I use page up/page down for rocker gestures. I keep the button held down as I rock but I need time to read or look at the page and it typically times out.
Can something be done about this? Maybe add an option for timeout to not apply to the gestures in Advanced settings?
