or to move diagonally you can just change the movement delay in settings to around 3 milliseconds and then pressing say for example down and left at the same time is the same effect as pressing 1 with a standard numpad. It's not perfect, but it works pretty well.

Since people seem to be hovering on the topic of diagnol movement on a laptop, I'll throw my 2 cents into the pot. I actually have no difficulty just using the entire row of numeric keypads on the top. However, to do this, I need to have 2 hands on the keyboard at all times. In the resting position, I rest my two index fingers on 3 and 7, my two middle fingers on 2 and 8, and my two ring fingers on 1 and 9. Then, I slide either of my index fingers over to hit 4, 5, and 6. Then, both of my thumbs are naturally resting on the space bar key, so I map the . key to spacebar for running purposes.
At first, it was very frustrating to the point where I nearly gave up, but it actually only took me a few days of playing to train my mind to a point where I didn't have to think too much about it. Over the next few weeks, it became easier and easier to the point where even when I was playing on a full keyboard, I'd find myself using the top numerics out of habit (I switch on and off from desktop to laptop, depending on where I am in the house). It just takes a little bit of practice, but at this point, i'm indifferent between the top numerics or the side numerics.Comment

The difficulty is with ctrl+movement and shift+movement. These do not work on the top keys but they do work on the numpad and the arrow keys. I consider this a bug, but I've failed in all my attempts to fix it. The only way to do a ctrl+diagonal movement is to ctrl+function+numpad equivalent. It may be possible that movement delaying as Angelus has suggested has developed enough that it fixes the problem, but I"m not sure.Since people seem to be hovering on the topic of diagnol movement on a laptop, I'll throw my 2 cents into the pot.

I tried this several years ago and gave up-- ended up moving not diagonally and screwing up too much. being able to do something like alt+left+up would be pretty swell, but I'm mostly used to the numbers now (except when I used to hit destroyed levels-- that was too painful-- but I think those are gone).Comment

Just a minor glitch: hints didn't get updated for 3.4, so you can still get the wrong info that you can put 99 missiles in a quiver slot.PWMAngband variant maintainer - check https://github.com/draconisPW/PWMAngband (or http://www.mangband.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=9) to learn more about this new variant!Comment
