^ that one is a really good one that I use whenever I am mapping my mouse keys.
It works!

too bad it replaces middle-click (open in new tab)...

By mapping the action to a different layer, you can change the settings so that the mapping is done only when you want it to.

Here's how:

Double click the icon for the program in your task bar.
Go to Layer 2 in the tabs and change the settings as needed (make sure that Layer 1 has no actions associated with it. Save.
Now right click the icon for the program in the task bar.
Go to Layers and select Layer 2.
Play Elements without having to press the spacebar.
When you're doing playing Elements, right click the icon for the program in the task bar.
Go to Layers and select Layer 1.
Switch back to Layer 2 when you're playing Elements.

Get a program that lets you map your mouse keys and map your roller button to the space bar. Then you just have to middle click when you are using your mouse.
do you have program for that? can you recommend one for us?

It's awesome! Makes grinding much more relaxed, I made right click spacebar, now I can grind with one hand! :P

What kind of a solution is remapping your mouse buttons? That's a terrible solution! No sane UI designer would ever tell a user to do that! The done button IS in an inconvient and hard to find place. The solution is to tell the user to install software and remap mouse buttons? If I could do that in my programming work, my life would be WAY easier. If you're worried about misclicks, put a thick line between your cards and the done button. Don't tell the user they're doing it wrong.

Remapping the mouse buttons is for convenience and one-handed play -- most people just use the space bar to end their turns anyway.

Trying to idiot-proof something only generates more aggravating idiocy.

We'd then end up getting people saying "OMG I accidentally pressed the Done button and now I can't undo my turn!!!11111" in the same way that there are people complaining about how the game doesn't refund quanta spent on activated abilities if you click Cancel.

If the solution can be built into the game, you wouldn't need to get users to go out of their way to change the functionality of their hardware.

When people click the cancel button of a creature's ability, they expect it to cancel everything. When The cancel button does not cancel the quanta expenditure, that is a bug. When the done button is pressed, people can only blame themselves. How many times have you accidentally clicked a creature when trying to reach your hand? A centimeter between the hand and the done button should be enough to avoid accidental clicks. It's at least better than a tiny done button in the corner of the screen. THATS useless and might as well be replaced with a little note telling the user to press the spacebar, because no one will bother clicking it.
