Mismatched componants
First, I am working on a recumbent bike.
The front crankset and derailleur are Shamino 105 two rings, my trigger shifter is a Deore 3 position.
I have a huge travel before it will shift up.
I need a new trigger shifter set up for the 105 derailleurs.

Just loosen the clamp on your derailleur and pull the cable through until the cage aligns with the inner ring, then retighten. No need for a new shifter.

If the limit screw is properly adjusted the inner ring should already be aligned. Mountain bike shifters do not work properly with road front derailleurs

Perhaps not, but the OP only has to make a single shift work, so they may be able to be adjusted well enough to do the job. Otherwise flat bar road shifters as suggested by Bill Kapaun will surely work.
