Just to add here the solution discussed under bug 1964, if you're having an issue with the arrow keys not working with w, it's because, if you're using a custom keyboard arrangement, ADOM won't delete it when you update to a new version. You can delete it yourself from ~/.adom.data/adom.kbd, or edit it as suggested above, adding the commands for walking using the arrow keys, i.e. change the line "WM8:w8", to "WM8:w8 w\U", "WM6:w6" to, "WM6:w6 w\R", "WM4:w4" to WM4:w4 w\L", "WM2:w2" to "WM2:w2 w\D".
