  The classic key bindings for rougelikes were vi key bindings. So rogue, hack, nethack, moria... Newer games of the genera typically still allow the classic bindings, but not as easily supported.

    Back in the early 90s, I learned the vi movement keys through hunt(6) from the BSD Games collection. Can't find a good link for the package, but here is the man page: https://www.unix.com/man-page/bsd/6/hunt/ https://www.unix.com/man-page/bsd/6/hunt/

      That package has another excellent way of learning vi commands... The 'quiz' program had the data set of 'ed' ( https://github.com/vattam/BSDGames/tree/master/quiz https://github.com/vattam/BSDGames/tree/master/quiz / https://github.com/vattam/BSDGames/blob/master/quiz/datfiles/ed https://github.com/vattam/BSDGames/blob/master/quiz/datfiles... ) print whole file:1,$p|g/[^|$]/p So it would print out "print whole file" and you could enter one of: 1,$p g/^/p g/$/p Hunt is also in that repo.

    Was waiting for someone to say this. Got comfortable with Vim movement while descretley playing in-browser Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup at work.
