I think there should be a hotkey to place the piece you're hovering over in your hand without picking it up (like copying it to your cursor)
i.e. You hover over a pawn and press middle mouse and you're now holding a pawn which you can simply place down without moving your original pawn. I think it'd be a bit more handy than doing the whole thing with moving your cursor to the button and clicking on one down there.
... Might already be a thing and I just don't know the hotkey, I'd be thankful if someone could point it out in that case.
Have a good day!
