Enemy Spotted

I don't know if this is hard coded, but I think it would improve game play if you were able to assign a button to be enemy spotted. Say you're a sniper, your first priority is to spot enemies, your second is to kill them, but when you press Q and spot them, that might give them the chance to escape and find cover, now say your middle mouse is the "enemy spotted" button, all you do is press it and voila you can shoot and spot at the same time.

I don't see how pressing Q and clicking takes so much longer then pressing the middle mouse key.

I dont know how many fingers you have - but I use my pointing finger to shoot and my 'F' finger to zoom.
Which means, that if I have to press the middlemouse, I have to take my pointing finger off the shooting key.
So its impossible for me to spot that way..
Your finger-setup may be different so

(You friggin alien)

But yes, I would be nice to have the choice..

Anyone know if this can be assigned to a G15 keyboard "G" key?.... it's been bugging me for some time.
I know the commo-rose can but I'd like just "Enemy Spotted" & not have to click the mouse.

I just don't like how sometimes you'll try to spot guys (or worse, a tank) while you and your squad are trying to be stealth, and instead you accidently fire a round at them.
