I'm going to fix this as I get complaints from a lot of people, but the
simplest solution of fire on mouse click wont work, it was that way when in
beta and people kept clicking outside of the window, making the game lose
focus, and that was even more annoying than having to get used to using the
keyboard, believe me. If you want more info about it please look for the
relevant bug report.
