Description
When changing text speed with + and - keys it is not possible to make it as slow as I want. It is possible to select a very slow speed with the talkspeed keyword in the config file, but when I accidentally hit the - key, the speed will be set to the slowest value I can select with the keys.
I think the following code in scumm/scummvm.cpp is responsble for this:
} else if (_lastKeyHit == '-') { // - text speed down _defaultTalkDelay += 5; if (_defaultTalkDelay > 90) _defaultTalkDelay = 90;
I would like to have a much higher limit as I used values 200 or 300 in the config files for children who need much time for reading because they just learned to read.
A useful limit could be 500 or 1000.
A new key in the config file, e.g. maxtalkspeed=500, with the current limit of 90 as default value would be nice.

Increasing the limit could cause possible timing issues, so it will not be changed.

This is a feature request, not a bug report -> moving to the appropriate tracker.
Also: IMO we should not make things more confusing by adding a config key for this; either we change the limit, or we don't...
