It would be very convenient if a location associated with the last active window was active for the map. Basically if I have one map shared between 2 characters, and if I want to speed walk by clicking on the map with 1, I need to switch the location either via #track or by clicking the selection on the bottom. It would be much more convenient and I think intuitive if you could choose for the location used to be that associated with the last window with focus.

Yes, that is actually the intent. It was supposed to work this way, but is currently bugged. Clicking on a session window that has an active track location is supposed to bring the map window to the front and then center on the tracked location and change the tracking location of the map window. This doesn't work at all right now. If you have multiple map windows, it doesn't focus the correct window. And if you have a shared map window, it doesn't update the tracking. This is on my high-priority bug list for the next version already.

Also, for other people reading this, you can avoid this intended behavior by just not having a #track object in a window. You can still have an active location object for scripting via #loc. If there isn't a location assigned via #track, then nothing will be switched in the map when you click on a window.

Nod, The workaround I'm using now is:

#oninput {(*)} {#if (%ismember(%1,@dirconvertlong(%roomexits))) {~%1;#withloc location {#move %1}}

@dirconvertlong is just a function with %subregex($direction,"^h$",nw), ect... in it to convert the single chars to sw,ne,sw,se
