Demonstrative video: https://youtu.be/sEDv8dTP85s
If I set a Soft Press or Analog activator to a digital button it does nothing. I assume the only place where they are usable are in trackpad click. They shouldn't show up outside of their use case

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Set a digital button to Soft Press or Analog
  2. Try to use it

Result:

Nothing happens

Expected:

The option shouldn't appear on digital buttons

These are still in the context menu and do confuse users of their purpose.
