Suggestion: add feature to make fasten mate easier and faster to use

When using the fasten mate I often have many mates to do so I click on the side then the other, but I recommend instead to be able to hold down a button then everything you select will create a new fasten mate then when you release the key everything you click will go onto the created mates by order of creation so I don't have to keep moving the camera.

So for example you have 2 parts you need to connect:
1. Select fasten mate
2. Hold or toggle the button for this feature
3. Click on aside for first mate
4. Fasten 1 created
5. Click on a side for second mate
6. Fasten 2 created
7. Take hand off/toggle the button for this feature
8. Move camera to other parts
9. Click on a side for the first mate
10. Fasten 1 has everything and is ready to be checked off
11. Click on a side for the second mate
12. Fasten 2 has everything and is ready to be checked off
13. Click on one button to complete them all or click on the complete for each one

Thank you for reading, I hope to hear feedback or updates.
I don't use many of the other mates or at least not in such large quantity, but it might be useful for the others as well.
