Fixes #2727

Disable hovering icons for selection for a short time when initiating and after every key press. See the linked issue for details on the reason. GNOME Shell uses 500ms but I personally found that a bit too much so I went with 300ms but I'm open to suggestions.
Tbh in general I don't like things like this because it is sometimes noticeable but not noticeable enough that you know what's going on and that makes it feel unpredictable and buggy. But ig in this case the main usage is probably keyboard workflows anyways so optimizing for that a bit more might be worth it but I'll leave that to UX.

I hate magic numbers too but I've also been annoyed by this issue and can't think of a better way to solve it off the top of my head
