Llorean:
It's also an issue of complexity of the source for people to work on it. We don't like hiding settings from the users, in general, but we also want to keep the code trim if and when we can.

XavierGr:
cool_walking_, if you are so fond of changing the time interval between short and long press, I suggest that it might be easier for you to change it yourself in the source code.

Of course, that might need a couple of hours from your time, to get to know what to change and how to compile, but I assure you that your time will be well spent and that you will be able to change those little details.

zajacattack:
Or, if you feel up to it. you could create your own build with these custom options. I'm sure a decent amount of people will go for it.

cool_walking_:
I personally don't have the need for this particular option (or any other that doesn't already exist, really), but I've seen a couple of these requests for strange options that most people would never use, and immediately thought of Firefox's about:config.

As for coding it myself... probably never going to happen since I really, really, really can't code.

The documentation in the wiki will get you:
A - a build environment
B - source code checked out.
C - a stock compile
D - the ability to add and make patches.

No programming experience needed.
All you then need (after doing A through D on your own) is to come into IRC, and ask someone to point out where this button-press timing is coded in, and to explain how the one line works.
I can't promise anything, but I think if you do A through D you will have no trouble finding someone to help you with this step E.
No programming experience needed.

you then:
F - build your custom build
G - check out source code again in the future
H - step F again
rinse, wash, repeat.
