A GHK (“A”) is defined in the turn counter to trigger on turn advance.
A GKC (menu button) is defined to map the GHK to a GKC (“B”) on a secondary (i.e., not main map)
When the turn is advanced the GKC effect depends on whether the map is open or closed:
Map closed - GKC does NOT trigger
Map open - GKC DOES trigger
I would have preferred to be able to directly define a GKC for the Turn Counter, but given that Vassal doesn’t support that, I used the GHK and GHK-to-GKC map approach…
So is this a bug or is this “expected behavior” (it sure feels like a bug…)???
It creates a significant problem for my module, as the results depend on what a player has open (or not), which the module can’t control…
Go to Global Options in the Editor tree. Double-click (or right-click and select Properties). The 5th entry down is “Toolbars on Closed Map Windows Accept Hotkeys”: set it to Always.
This option was added recently; I’m not sure which version exactly, but it’s there in 3.6 Beta 1, at least.
