Currently, the timeline exporter adds a month to now() or
patient.deceased regarding the end of the viewport into
eternity.
Start is either patient.dob or else now() - 100 years.
Which interval would you propose to add/subtract from the
actual dates as to make for better display ? One year ?

A slider would only make sense for finite ranges. You
probably mean a scroll wheel type thing (a throbber?) ? At
any rate, the TimeLineProject hasn't coded that.

Did the timeline plane have focus ? What happens if it does ?

I don't fully understand your question.
