disable target lock on shift

mle

How can I disable the target locking when in combat, and using the shift functionality?
Unfortunately the game is set up so that you can't avoid combat, which to be honest is baffling to me, as this was a core aspect of the first mirrors edge. And the combat controls are very very clunky imho. But it would help a lot to be able to disable the target locking when using shift, so that it is possible to get away from an enemy, and attacking from a different angle, instead of just going in circles around the enemy and not being able to focus on another enemy, or away altogether.

Sure it would be nice to give you the option but I've only just got into the combat myself and it actually helps to be in the middle of of everyone you're fighting coz they dont use their weapons for fear of hitting their own. If you shift round someone you can usually get a free hit in and finish them off easily before moving on to the next person.

It only locks on if you put an opponent in the centre of the screen. Look somewhere else before using it?
