HJKL are the movement key standard for NetHack. And also vi.

  • H = left
  • J = down
  • K = up
  • L = right

Contrast with WASD

Some programs (especially games) also provide keys for moving diagonally. Those usually are YUBN. They form a rectangle on US keyboards but are not as mnemonic on some international ones. And they get buggered to hell and back on a split (ergonomic) keyboard.
