Hot keys to start a game

[jack67889]

It's rather inconvenient that you can play the game using solely a keyboard, but you can't easily recreate the waiting room and press start in the waiting room. (I consider grabbing your mouse or tabbing as rather inconvenient.) So it would be really nice if hot keys could be implemented for that.

Furthermore, hot keys to create a public and private game if you are at the home page would also be nice, but less important imho.

Is this a major improvement? I'm worried about players who don't know about the hotkeys accidentally starting the game from the waiting room after hitting a key, for example.

Imho it is, just annoying to grab the mouse and move the cursor out of the way again after you press start. I certainly understand the concern, but something like alt+s seems fine to me (instead of just a single key), you won't click that on accident.
