I would be tempted to mention the units as part of the name for this config option, something like caretMoveTimeoutMS or caretMoveTimeoutMilliSec

In the description of this PR you mention backwards compat for this function I think? Changing timeout to None will risk breaking that.

It's certainly a valid point, but I think it's a negligible/acceptable risk.

  1. It's most likely that a caller would call this function either accepting the defaults or passing its own timeout, both of which will still work as expected.
  2. This doesn't call super, so there's no chance that some method will receive None that wasn't expecting it.
  3. The only risk I can think of is that a subclass might have hard-coded the old 0.03 default, in which case they won't get the user's configured value. However, at worst, this means some subclass won't behave consistently with the rest of NVDA, and this would be pretty clear from the debug log if caret movement started timing out. I also think the likelihood of someone having done this is unlikely.
  4. Since it's a private method, maintaining backwards compat is a courtesy anyway, not an obligation. :)

Since timeout is documented on the function to be in seconds, I think it could be easy to miss that its converted into milliseconds. Perhaps store the milliseconds in a new var, timeoutMs

# time.sleep accepts seconds, so retryInterval is in seconds.
# Convert to integer ms to avoid floating point precision errors when adding to elapsed.
