I think it would be best if we could just begin our turn without the extra refresh or added need for slower speed in pressing the key, and we should definitely be able to hold the key to have it keep acting and have it actually work. As it is now if I hold the "B" key, it will not begin turn, it will just refresh over and over and fail to initialize my actions when I need it the most.

I totally agree with that, but I think the priority of development should be sorting out the latest bug - that's the one where you hold ALT and auto-attack, and your auto-attack fails. The result of this is that the next region you conquer will be advanced into automatically as if you were still holding the ALT key. This bug has already cost me at least 100 points.

I haven't installed the new update thanks to the warnings from several players, thankfully!

Also, the clickable aspect of the current clickable maps version doesn't seem to apply when dropping deferred troops.

Concerning the begin turn key, you'll notice that even when holding the "B" key to begin turn (when waiting for your turn to open up) you can not begin turn, you must actually press the button now unlike in version 2.32, this is a big pain, as beginning turn is not as easy anymore.

That's all I could think of...

For the record, I was not aware of the begin-turn behaviour. I can adapt it, but it will be slightly different then it was actually, and there is a reason for that (it's impossible to have exactly the same behaviour in chrome, and I'd like 1 version that works on both browsers. For the record, the greasemonkey-creator works at google now, and agrees that chrome is right in not accepting that behaviour).
The second thing: Wasn't aware of this either, but basically I'm not aware that I changed anything related to this (except for if you have your focus on the chat-input).

I was aware of that, but I'd have to see the HTML for the deferred troops to fix it. And I don't miss turns.. I guess I'll set up a speed game and miss a turn on purpose, so I can fix it.

Then, there is the alt-thingy and advancing troops, I'm on that (first test failed, so I'll have to take another look).

Then you have the complaint of KoE_Sirius, that something can be slow at times.

That's all issues I'm currently aware of.

Is there any way you could explain what part of the code to delete and what to replace it with so that for Firefox the b function could work the same as it used to?

I've just updated the code (but not the version number yet).

I changed the behaviour of the begin turn key again, fortifying and deploying deferred troops should work again too.

It seems that Lack will implement a CM-breaking change soon, which means I can't really have any bugs at the moment. The change should eventually speed up CM a little btw. But the downside is that any old versions won't work any more.
