Hi,  
I have enabled the confirmed commit and set a small timer value (5sec), but I was not able to see a timeout. In addition, all default modes only show no-confirm. Is there a way to force confirmed-commit by default when selected one of the modes, i.e. private…

confd.conf changes

```
  <candidate>
    <enabled>true</enabled>
  </candidate>

  <confirmed-commit>
    <enabled>true</enabled>
  </confirmed-commit>

  <commit>
      <confirmed/> 
      <confirm-timeout>5</confirm-timeout> 
  </commit>
```
