Drop/destroy/pass select card indicators

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I propose different indicators, when selecting a card for non-default thing.

Default thing:
-Play an action (including KC and TR)
-Play a treasures.

Non default things:
-Pass with Masquerade ("P" is proposed as indicator) I passed e.g. KC when I 
wanted to play it. Was not very happy.
-Drop. ("D")
-Keep. ("K")
-Trash. ("T" or "X", not the same sign as "T" as top)
-AOB

Could you give some more detail on exactly what you're proposing?  Currently, 
the action button text changes to reflect the action which is being performed 
(e.g. Buy, Trash, Play, Pass, Discard, etc).  What additional information would 
you like to see?

I know the text changes. The problem is that my field of vision is 
concentrating on the cards, and my mind concentrates on what I want to play. :) 
So I select the card I want to play and press the Drop button without realizing 
that I drop/pass the card.

Maybe if the card selection indicator (a bottom directed triangle) would be 
different in these cases that would help me not destroying the card I just want 
to play. Maybe using circle instead of triangle and indicating what will happen 
with the card with signs or capital letters above would help.

I guess it is not only me playing and focusing this way, but you never know. :)

I have the same problem.  I frequently pass or trash a card on other players 
turns because I'm doing something else while playing.  I look down and "Oh it's 
my turn" so I click the action card and hit the button, followed by a 
"DOH!!!!!!".  :)  A different indicator might help, but then again it might not.

I do the same thing all the time on another player's Masquerade....

Actually a solution might be to have the left button confirm for default things 
like play action or treasure, and the right button confirm for all other like 
drop pass destroy. Not sure in KC or TR, though. Or double confirm for drop 
pass destroy might also help. Maybe even better than only different select 
indicator.
