Question about vim/roguelike keys

#1 Post by amyowings »

Hello,
Is it possible to use vim/roguelike keys? To move northeast the keybindings say K9. What is that? The letter k and 9 at the same time do nothing

In vim-style or roguelike keybindings, K9 typically means you should press the numeric keypad's 9 key (when Num Lock is off) to move northeast. This is part of the "numpad navigation" style often used in roguelike games and vim for directional movement.

In theory, roguelike keys can be set up "manually" by changing all the relevant keybindings in the Key Bindings dialog from the main game menu. That's kind of tedious, though, which is why I made the Roguelike Keybindings addon to automate the necessary changes.
