Make cursor keys work with w in the default adom.kbd file

By default, movement commands are linked to both the numeric keypad and arrow keys, for example:

Code:
#
#  Move to the south
#

MOS:2 \D

#
#  Move to the east
#

MOE:6 \R
However, the "walk" commands (at least in some versions, for example Windows and 32-bit Linux) are mapped to the numeric keypad only:

Code:
#
#  Walk to the south
#

WM2:w2

#
#  Walk to the west
#

WM4:w4
It would be useful if they were mapped both ways as well, so that w + (arrow key) works for the arrow keys that are not located in the numeric keypad:

Code:
#
#  Walk to the south
#

WM2:w2 w\D

#
#  Walk to the west
#

WM4:w4 w\L
etc.

Curiously, for some reason, w + (arrow key) already seems to work in Windows 7 even without changing the binding as described (maybe Windows automatically maps arrow keys to numbers, or something like that). But for example, if I play on the ADOM ssh servers, I have to add that binding or it doesn't work. Since adding the binding by default would harm no one (w\D, etc. are not bound to anything else), I think it would be a useful addition. At the very least, it would make the life of people on laptops that want to play on the server a little easier.
