Some kind of cruise mode or something

ZicherCZ:
The best solution is simply learn to _never, never_ hold down the keys. Patience and calmness is the best part of valor in roguelikes generally.

You can also you "." (the wait command) for "direction" which results in you waiting until a monster appears.

...doh.
That might do, thanks.

That can be a help too.

No. A second is too much while values that are "enough" basically allow you to move 2-3 squares, quite defeating the point.

The problem is, that the previous roguelike I used to play quite lockdowned me every time I see something SOMEWHAT dangerous(even if that's a pool of lava), so I could run around like crazy knowing that until it stops me everything is more than fine.
Not to mention that even while moving around carefully I sometimes can't notice enemies because they blend in. Perhaps, write in the prompt something likes "you spot an imp"?
BTW, while we are on keyboardly stuff, can I request moving move controls to keypad? It's a bit easier to manage the diagonal movement with it than with home/end/pgup/pgdn.

Yeah, i had similar problems when coming to DoomRL from Dungeon Crawl. The autoexplore, travel patches and the like can make DoomRL feel like a chore - but you simply have to get over it.
The stuff blending in can be troublesome too - again, you have to be careful. You can also use the Ctrl+X (I believe - maybe Shift+X) command to examine monsters in sight.
And about numpad - turning NumLock off should help.

Take numlock off.
