Hello Mario,

Interesting. One of the reasons we started nethack-el is to be able to
competently play nethack with a dvorak mapped happy hacking keyboard
which doesn't have arrow keys. And so I've never ACTUALLY tested
nethack-el with arrow key bindings :). It is clearly busted and I'm
investigating a solution...
