Description

Example: bind the fire secondary control to the E key. Then press Shift-E to use the Engage Enemy wingmen order. The engage order will work, but then the ship will also fire secondaries. Specifically, the secondary only fires when I release the modifier key (I hold Shift, then click E, then release Shift, and that's when the missile fires).

Additional tests with other continuous keys this does not occur and seems to only be an issue with the fire secondary and primary keys.

PM discussion with Z stated that this is likely not a bug and is likely a quirk of the continuous trigger type. Still, this behavior essentially makes certain bindings using modifier keys not work as expected.
