Add Hold Priority Button

When you are playing a match, you can toggle the keyboard shortcuts so that they are visible or hidden. The shortcut reminders look like buttons that you can press, but clicking on them does nothing. That's a bit counterintuitive, and there is no way to access these game features and play the game with just a mouse, unless you have a mouse with additional programmable buttons.

For example, it would be nice if you could click on the "2" keyboard shortcut button to Pass until Response. This would allow you to play the game with just a mouse, instead of needing to have one hand ready to click on the keyboard number 2 over and over again.

There are tons of situations in Magic where it’s advantageous (and necessary) to hold priority while casting a spell, so you can take another action in response. Currently this involves pressing the Shift key while casting the spell, but this is clunky, as you have to hold down the shift key starting from before you cast the spell all the way through until it’s on the stack.

Also this isn’t mentioned anywhere or listed in the settings that I’m aware of, and so it’s not exactly friendly towards new players, who usually have to ask about it.

Adding a “Hold Priority” button or toggle somewhere to the interface would improve the play experience for lots of people!

The list of keybind commands that shows up in the Duel Scene actually does display CTRL for holding priority. There isn't other real estate on the Duel Scene to add a button for what generally ends up as a corner case.
