If playing SP a stop gap measure is to play two nations at once. Don't know if its apropriate but I might as well chuck it in there.

Or turn on --comptrn, which is loads of fun anyway. I love to watch the computer EA Ermor fighting ineffectively against the computer Niefelheim, and occasionally intervening to smash an army or something.

In SP you could just turn off the program while it's resolving the turn.

I didn't read all of this thread: Don't shoot me if this solution has already been mentioned.

Here is a little script called 'dom' that re-maps the keyboard 'e' to 'r' (so you have two 'r' keys) and makes the 'end' key an 'e'. (It's harder to accidentally hit it there.) When dom3 quits, the script re-maps the original key-bindings. Unfortunately, this mapping, when in use is system wide. (ie. have fun trying to IM when playing ;-) ) This is for Linux.

Code:
#!/bin/bash

xmodmap -e "keycode  26 = 0x0072"    # make e --> r
xmodmap -e "keycode 103 = 0x0065"    # make end --> e
dom3                                 # you might need the full path
xmodmap -e "keycode  26 = 0x0065"    # make e --> e 
xmodmap -e "keycode 103 = 0xff57"    # make end --> end

Every system, linux or windows or mac, has various ways to reprogram a key. The trick is to do it on the script (or shortcut or icon) that takes you into Dom3, then have it change it back on the way out.

As for the linux system-wide thing, I dont think its system wide if you create a seperate user for playing Dom3.
