Borderlands – What does the ‘Secondary Use’ key do

borderlands-2

I'm rebinding melee and skill power activation to keys closer to the WASD keys to make them more accessible. I was going to rebind Q, but by default it is set to "Secondary Use".

The only use of that key in-game that I've noticed so far is that it allows you to shop with NPCs instead of just talking to them. Are there any other uses for this key?

Secondary use button is used when you can chose between multiple interactions with an NPC;like with Marcus and Dr.Zed where you can either use "E" to simply talk to them or use "Q" to enter their shop interface.

Another example is when you finish a certain quest for Claptrap and you can press "Q" to ask him for a high-five.
