This is in addition to the existing checks it already used.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is an adjustment to the timing rules that decide whether a second Escape press counts as part of the same gesture, likely intended to make the double-press detection more accurate.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Names: `Escape`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
