In my opinion, the client should only accept the arrow keys when the number lock is off. That said, I don't see a reason to change this now since it really isn't broken. > Not specific to that, but I suspect people playing on laptops/notebooks > lack the numeric keypad, and just using the 4 direction keys is limiting > (there are probably circumstances where you really need to move or fire > diagonally) I'm a regular user of the NetHack-style layout. It was working before the new patches were introduced; somehow it seems to be in conflict with the arrow keys. I'll be looking at how to fix it. > I suspect some of that is command history is a more recent feature and > keybinding was never added for it (there are probably lots of commands > which could use keybindings but are lacking them) But new users will probably find arrow keys more intuitive. There should be a way to spoon-feed new users key commands without annoying experienced players.
