It turns out you can get the terrain to display in browse mode. There's a setting in the options menu where you can turn off the coordinate display. Then as you arrow over tiles, it either displays nothing, or a terrain type. It even tells you about event tiles like entrances and exits to maps and bonus caves. Definitely something I'm going to have to play with more. You have to alt tab out to get it to translate the terrain tiles correctly, because pressing shift copies your coordinates to the clipboard in the game. Or you could change your translation key, but I just alt tab out if I need to know what terrain I'm going over, since I don't need that info often. Combine this with control and the arrow keys, which causes the cursor in browse mode to move until it encounters an obstacle of note, and you can examine maps for special tiles and terrain fairly easily. I'm going to go back through the maps I've played already and see if I've missed anything special. That's going to be a lot of maps though, lol.
