I really wish Someone could fix this.
Whatever issues are important to you, please post about it. Being passive-aggressive is not usually enough to get issues solved (which is why you've had this issue "for years"). I just checked your post history and saw no mention of issues you're having except for when the Legacy of Romulus expansion was crashing under IS.
Regarding the Modifiers/"Hold" thread, 3 times I asked for configuration and neither the original poster, nor RSM72, produced one to show that they had tried the "Hold" option. Also, things are
usually quite similar between STO and NW, and modifiers are working fine in NW last I knew. Plus I specifically worked with STO in May 2013 to make the walkthrough video for ISBoxer 41. Point being, nobody really challenged the assumption, which they could have done by sharing their configuration as was requested in the thread. I had no reason to believe it would operate any different than for every other game.
So assuming we're done with that conversation ...
I'll look into the reported issues, thank you for reporting that you're having an issue.
