Add shortcuts during a game

Hi,
"Players would be able in the setting to configure some shortcut for specific game, and have some of them by default. Per example, the main shortcut could be:
- (enter/e) end the turn / pass to the next phase / validate
- (1) do action 1 / play (or select) leftmost card
- (2) do action 2 / play (or select) second leftmost card
- (left arrow) move to the left / put the tile one more to the left
- (r) restart the turn
- (g) tell in chat 'Good luck, have fun!' or 'I like my trains!'
- ...

For developpers, be able to configure which action is associated to what: make them be able to associate what 'pass to next phase' mean and make them be able to configure that 'action 3' is always 'roll a dice' even if action 1 isn't available this turn (but is most of the time)."


I played a lot Slay the Spire without the shortcut, but when I started using them, my games goes way much faster.
You can find situations where you most of the time click 'enter' after clicking '3', which make you do one more click nearly instantly, and so speed up the game slightly.
That suggestion is pretty much to be able to play any game with only the keyboard, which is impossible atm I think.

I though to that idea mainly with my solo game of Burgle bros, where using the arrows and enter would make the game maybe 33% faster.
