I had this "problem" when I was first learning how to play roguelikes and I chose Angband to start off with. There's a lot of "closed-off" diagonal paths in that, and I was playing on a laptop without a numpad. Fun times.

Check the "keybindings.lua" file in your DoomRL install folder (it it works this way on Mac). As the filename implies, you can change the diagonal (and other) keybindings there. I also played on a numpadless laptop, so I had to use this as well.

thelaptop:
I use vi-keys, but that's only because I'm old.  =(

slave:
I wish that the DoomRL release came with some kind of a vi-keys config.

For example there could be a "keybindings-vi.lua" file.
Then there could be a line in "config.lua" below the line

--- Code: ---dofile "keybindings.lua"
--- End code ---
which could read

--- Code: -----dofile "keybindings-vi.lua" --recommended if your keyboard lacks a numpad
--- End code ---

But that's just me being tired of editing "keybindings.lua" every time I redownload DoomRL. That editing is a bit annoying, since I usually make mistakes and have to edit the file multiple times.

thelaptop:
The repo has vi-keys, and only because I got sick of editing it each time I had to check out the code on a new machine.

If you guys really want it, I can ask Kornel to make that a part of the package.
