Moving diagonally, is it possible?

[Ingwe Ingweron]

Being a laptop user, without the benefit of a numpad, I set the "movement delay" in the user options to about 11 or 12 ms. Then I can simultaneously press two arrow keys to move diagonally. E.g., up arrow + left arrow = diagonal movement to the north-west. (Well, until my left arrow key stopped working. )

Wow. This is awesome lifehack for laptops without numpad, thanks! =)

Wait, how do you move non-diagonally then? Do you use the arrow keys with your third hand? Or do you use the 123456789 keys above the letters, and you train yourself to associate them to the correct directions even if they are not in the same shape?

(Anyway, proud roguelike keyset user here. I have already trained myself to associate j/k with up/down even if they are not in the correct shape...)

I have a standard generic keyboard. Using the number pad.

7(up-left) 8(up) 9(up-right)

4(left) 5(stay) 6(right)

1(down-left) 2 (down) 3 (down-right)
