Please make it so that Sniper/Gunslinger automatically take cover when activating a cover-needing-ability. I like the aesthetics and play style of the class, except for having to first go in cover before I can use my skills. I know, learn to play and everything, but for me it's just a matter of convenience.

I seem to have a small problem with my dear companion Khem Val. Whenever I manually send him in to attack something (Ctrl+1) it takes him a second or so to activate his Dash ability, he then runs to the designated enemy. There he takes another second or two (probably to introduce himself) and only then does he begin to attack. When I'm in battle with several enemies and let him chose his own targets I don't really see this delay in attacks. Is it just me, or am I maybe doing something wrong, or is my personal Khem Val just a little on the slow side? Any help / information is appreciated.
