How to set connection timeout value for pgAdmin?

Question

I am using pgAdmin to connect remotely to my database as phpPgAdmin is a bit limited in its features. Only problem is if I leave the SQL window open without running a query for a few minutes, then it says I need to reconnect.

Is this a setting I need to change in my database to keep remote connections alive for longer or is it a pgAdmin setting?

It is client setting. You need specify connect_timeout in your config file. 29.1. Database Connection Control Functions 29.14. The Connection Service File
