"Slide" keybind does nothing

Issue Description:
Setting the “Slide” keybind does nothing. It does not activate a slide when pressed while sprinting. The “Crouch” binding continues to perform the slide functionality regardless of whether “Slide” is bound to another key.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Set the “Slide” keybinding to a key that is not in use by any other binding.
  2. Load into the free tutorial area or any normal playable mission.
  3. Attempt to sprint and then slide using the “Slide” keybinding. You should observe that nothing happens.
  4. Attempt to sprint and slide using the “Crouch” binding. You should observe the player character sliding as expected under the default behavior, but not the expected behavior with a “Slide” keybinding set.

Mission Name (If Applicable):

Approx. Time of Issue & Timezone:
Ongoing.
Has been present since launch, judging by history of Reddit/Steam posts.

Reproduction Rate:
100%

Upload Supporting Evidence:
Available upon request. Should be trivial to re-create locally on any existing installation and character.

[PC] Upload Console Log & darktide_launcher.log:
Available upon request but again, this is trivial to re-create locally and there’s nothing in the launcher log file pertaining to triggering the issue in game.

NOTE: I’ve searched other bug reports, feature requests and the KB. I see some asking for separate Slide/Crouch functionality and some indicating that “Crouch” doesn’t perform the slide when bound to certain keys but none of these are the issue described above. I feel like this should be a dupe given how long the playerbase has known about it but I just couldn’t find it if it exists. ~Cheers
