Remember last used power for character. #14

Summary

When controlling a lot of characters combat is very tedious. We should speed this up by remembering the last used / selected powers for each character. Then when you (or the game when we have initiative order) reselects the character it will select the last used (still available) power.

This will effectively eliminate one click for each combat in most cases and if we auto-select characters then on average only one click will be required per combat.

We need to a bit careful in implementing this feature as it is still too easy for players to inadvertently move a character or use a power. The DM has the advantage of the undo button. Perhaps this default power can be made optional through UI controls, DM role, restricted to monsters... Some experimentation required, and will likely need some refinement once AoE and recharge are supported.
