Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nethack-console
Enable numpad (OPTIONS=number_pad:1) by default to make it easy to start
nethacking.
Most users are used to moving with numpad. Very few have ever heard of
vi style "jkl..." moving. I watched more than 20 persons install
nethack. Most of them tried to move with numpad. Setting numpad is
difficult for beginner even with instructions. "O, scroll down until you
see 'numpad', then set to one" requires reading a lot of options.
Editing config file is not intuitive for a beginner either.
User can set numpad with config file (overwrites existing config):
$ echo "OPTIONS=number_pad:1">$HOME/.nethackrc
** Affects: nethack (Ubuntu)
