There are 8 cardinal directions in NetHack. You can use either the number keys or the vi-keys:

Set number_pad:1 in your options to use the number keys for directions and movement:

7 8 9
4 6
1 2 3

To use the vi-keys for directions or movement, set number_pad:0 in your options:

y k u
h l
b j n

Whichever you set, the arrow keys can always be used.

Whenever you are prompted for a direction, you can also use the following:

  • upwards, <
  • downward, >
  • towards yourself, s or .
