Moving diagonally

Is there any chance that there could be change to catch the up+left and such on the arrow keys, to execute diagonal moves?
Playing on a laptop is otherwise relatively handicapped. I know it can be done on the insert/delete and/or the other keys in that cluster. But being able to do it just on the arrow keys would be very nice.

I think tehre is a alternative "rogue like" layout which sues the wasd keys for movement. Check the lib/text/command.txt in your client there is some documentation. I think you can switch the mapping in one of the options.
Alternative costs more: Buy another laptop :) Since mine was already from the stone ages I bought a new machine.

Or buy a keyboard to your laptop for that sake (you can even buy just a numpad)
But I agree that the combo-arrow-key would be nice
Would that not be easy to set up as a macro?
*looks into the macro files*
Code: Select all
#
# Keypad (7,8,9,-,4,5,6,+,1,2,3,0,.)
#
A:7
P:^_x47\r
A:8
P:^_x48\r
A:9
P:^_x49\r
A:-
P:^_x4A\r
A:4
P:^_x4B\r
A:5
P:^_x4C\r
A:6
P:^_x4D\r
A:+
P:^_x4E\r
A:1
P:^_x4F\r
A:2
P:^_x50\r
A:3
P:^_x51\r
A:0
P:^_x52\r
A:.
P:^_x53\r
Now, I don't know what the code for the arrow keys are, and I don't even know if this would work, but still :)

I play on a laptop also, I use an external USB numpad, they are available pretty cheaply.

At first I used the "Fn" key on my laptop to use some of the normal keyboard keys as a number pad when that key was held. It was a pain at first, but I got used to it. I don't think all laptop keyboards have it, but if they do, the numbers will probably show up blue on the (from left to right) 7-0 keys, U-P keys, and J-; keys.
Anyways, recently my lovely wife bought me a USB number pad and all has been good in the world.
