SUMMARY

When the Activity Manager is opened via screen edge, it stays open until the user interacts with it. This can lead to a slightly clunky user experience, especially when it's triggered unintentionally.

It would be great to have an optional setting to automatically hide the Activity Manager after a brief delay (e.g. 5–10 seconds) if the user doesn’t interact with it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up Activity Switcher to be triggered from the screen edge
2. Trigger it. Note it doesnt close until the user clicks somewhere
3. It would be nice if it closed after a certain length of time, set by the user in Screen Edges - System Settings
