From a usability standpoint only options should be provided that are
useful. The problem is how to you determine what the useful options are?
In my current development version I have replaced the radio buttons with a
slider. The slider label indicates the currently selected option,
"Timeout: <text of selected option>". The min. limit label is "Short" and
the max. limit label is "Long".
The description text explains the use of the 'ALT' key.

The options from left to right are:
Do not wait, Wait 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 seconds, Wait 1 minute, and Wait
indefinitely.
While you drag the slider thumb the slider label is updated.
