I'm not sure of the short way to refer to this feature, but I'm talking
about the option for maps called "Key Command to apply to all units ending
movements on this map".  This feature does not work consistently for all
pieces.  I have observed that while in general this feature works, it the
Key Command doesn't get triggered in particular situations:
  a. Send To Location: When moving a piece using this trait, the map based
key command is not triggered.
  b. Move Fixed Distance: When moving a piece using this trait, the map
based key command is not triggered.
  c. When moving a piece into a Deck, the map based key command is not
triggered.  However, when you move a piece with the Does Not Stack trait
into a Deck, it IS triggered.
  d. When moving an existing piece onto a stack of other pieces, the map
based key command is not triggered.  However, when CREATING a piece onto
a stack of other pieces, the map based key command IS triggered.

I have created an example module to demonstrate these inconsistent
behaviors.  It can be downloaded here:

I hope VASSAL can be changed to fire the map-based key commands in the
situations I outlined above.  I would like to use this feature to drive a
bunch of automation, but its difficult to use it when it doesn't always
get triggered.

Cheers
