    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. )

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

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

        (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)
