I suggest changing this to something that is not the default. When clear cursor and switch weapon share a hotkey, this happens to me a lot:

1. You accidentally press clear cursor and extra time and switch your weapon to the shotgun.
2. You accidentally press the space bar either because your thumb is there, or trying to do something like pause that uses the spacebar.
3. Unlike other guns for which space shoots a nearby enemy, the shotgun just shoots in the direction of the cursor.
4. If you are near any of your buildings, the shotgun will destroy them in a single blast.

Oh god. You think the shotgun is bad? Try the flamethrower! I do that ALL THE TIME -- accidentally fire it near my base and it burns up some buildings. My construction robots replace the buildings, and it burns down the new ones too. Then it burns down the construction robots. Then it burns three player. Best thing you can do is just run the heck away so you don't lose too many structures/bots while it burns itself out... xD

Never had this problem with the default bindings, but I rebound my fire key to a side button on my mouse, so maybe that's why?
