Thread KeyPressInterval change request

Two requests:
1. Make KeyPressInterval public or published on relevant components like combo and list.
2. Make the default 2000 at least.

I have a request to allow people to type "s" "e" "l" etc for "selection". At the moment it goes to "s" then to the first with "e" and then to the "l" section. There is code that builds up a string as you type, but with 200ms before it throws it away!

The internet tells me a good typing speed is 200 chars per minute, so that's 3.3 per second, so 300ms. Is it just me, or does 200ms seem like the code doesn't want to be used? 8-)

Being able to adjust it would be handy...

This works well - I checked using 20000 and that was a tad too much! But also leads to:

3. Reset the FLastKeyPress value when the program changes the current index, or text, programmatically. I have a "reset" button to take you to the top, and the timer is still running when I type again.
