I've run into too many situations with either my CAMP or a Workshop where I'm trying to get generators hooked up to connectors and instead of the wire attaching to the second connection I just end up jumping. I've had to then exit and re-enter build mode multiple times (sometimes at least 10 times for ONE wire, JUST ONE) with only the hope that it'll work that next time.

When building a base it may not be as big of a deal if you have time on your hands. However, when you're trying to set up turrets and defenses for a Workshop before the shortly following "Defend X Workshop" event starts up, well it just gets really annoying and you can risk losing the event that way.

Please Bethesda, if it's possible to separate these keybinds or to fix/prevent the jumping when you have the second connection highlighted, please do so. This would be a wonderful quality of life change to building.

Edit: If it's consoles you're worried about, just change it to the E/"Interact" keybind/console button equivalent. That button is blurred out and not useable when trying to attach a wire anyway so why not change it to that?

Then it becomes a system of highlight first connector, "Attach Wire button", go over to next connector, "Interact Button".
