[Suggestion]: Shift-Clicking Username To Mention

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm always frustrated when I'm trying to mention someone in MineTogether chat but the chat is moving faster than my brain and I accidentally click too slow and don't notice until I've already caused an epic amount of confusion!

Describe the solution you'd like

Holding down the shift key and clicking would act as if you clicked and then selected the "Mention" option. This might alternatively be a configurable keybind if that is possible, either to change just the modifier key or the full keybind itself. Not sure how well that'd play with other keybinds, however.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've tried to drink coffee and even took a caffeine pill to make my brain faster but that just made my heart start playing a Dragonforce song. After I got back from the ER I then tried using tab-autocomplete for usernames but that didn't work, but that could be an alternative for mentioning although it doesn't work super well for people without usernames.

Additional context

Training users to use it would be difficult, but it should be easy enough to offload that to the MineTogether chat userbase because it should spread through the regulars fairly quickly. Might be worth adding some more details to the context menu with the hotkey there if it can fit and not look too cumbersome. Could also maybe use right click or double left click instead of shift click if using a modifier key won't work. Surely other things I'm not thinking of, but hopefully nothing showstopping!

Shift click isn't a bad idea, I also think tab complete after an @ of the random characters after someones name could be an alternative.

Might be worth adding both, will leave to @brandon3055 as he is currently prepping a new version with enhancement right now.
