Thank you for submitting an extension.

Extensions should only use JavaScript in last resort.
I guess you can generate a random number between min and max - (gapMax - gapMin) and if the value is greater than gapMin, add gapMax - gapMin.
This also works with decimal numbers. For integers, you may have to add 1 if bounds are excluding or including.

That's a great idea without using the magic JavaScript, have got it working but it will still include the MinGap in the range, MaxGap is fine
