Searching for a general consensus here... These days Debian's nethack packages contain default nethackrcs which enable number_pad style controls (instead of hjkl keys) by default, due to a bug filed on the packages a long time ago. Of course, there are some who like it and some who don't. It's too trivial to ask a debconf question about it upon install so it boils down to a popularity contest.
Which is better? I like the default keys because you learn how to use nvi very efficiently knowing the hjkl-style keys :) I'm searching for as many opinions as possible so please speak up! Thanks, -- Joshua Kwan
