Hi folks,
I play this on a MacBook Air laptop and thought I'd share my rebound key bindings.
Arrow keys - as usual for horizontal movement
Diagonal movement - use ;'./ keys (semicolon, quote, period, slash) to move in their diagonal directions
Skip a turn - use , (comma) and also x so you can auto-move with z and just tap x to get rid of effects
Up/down stairs - [ or ] (open or close square bracket)
Obviously, set the Shift and Control versions of the movement keys as well, if you use them. (Run & attack)
Cheers!

Re: Laptop keybinds
vi/rougue kybindings FTW! Actually it was the first thing I did:
h, j, k, l for left, down, up, right
y, u, b, n for diagonals
capitals for running
. wait
; look
And then anything that I trounced with my rebindings I used the control key instead.
To be honest, I was shocked that this wasn't the default keybindings...

Re: Laptop keybinds
I personally highly dislike those keybinds. Mind you, I've been programming with vi since 1988, so I use them all the time in vi (well, now vim), but they are terrible keybinds for my gaming.

Re: Laptop keybinds
I do something similar to vi for movement: jkl;m,./
I set my talent bar up as a 5x12 block on the left side of the screen, and I set my keyboard up to match. I use the left 5 key columns purely for talents. So 1 is the talent in the top left, 5 in the top right, z is the first talent on row 4, and b the last on row 4. Then shift and control cover rows 5-12.
All the other commands go on whatever's left.

I wish I could tell the game "don't show the map on this part of the screen" so that it doesn't draw the map (or put your character) under certain things.

I use Marson's UI mod - I got him to add an option to "Always center on player" for precisely this reason.
