This could be 'B' again, or 'M' for move, or whatever. This is preferable to manually dragging cards around, because it's hard to maintain a grid when you do that. (2) Adding or removing counters, and increasing or decreasing power/toughness (basically, anything that currently requires multiple clicks and/or manually entering values). (3) 'Tap/untap' for individual cards. (4) 'Next turn'. - "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"[a related request: make 'new game' an actual menu button, not a hotkey.

4 years{"ops":[{"insert":"Hi there! These are some really good suggestions. A lot of the card location stuff (and by association, hotkeys to move between them) is going to be dependent on the framework used whenever we overhaul the playtester. I do like the concept though, since it should in theory keep things a bit neater and require a little less micromanaging of space when messing around. Your suggestion for a custom token has potential too as a catch-all for edge cases where the correct token isn't automatically found. \n\nAs you seem to be aware, the playtester is very much a work-in-progress that we're hoping to be able to give more attention when developer time isn't as needed elsewhere. Regardless, we appreciate the suggestion-- we'll see what can be done with them! \n"}]}
