Key bindings
From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
Laptop Bindings
These are the values to enter to use the laptop bindings recommended for those without number pads. This will set your [ and ] keys to up and down respectively; and the - and = keys to page up and page down in secondary menus.:
[SECONDSCROLL_UP:KEYDB] [SECONDSCROLL_DOWN:KEYDD] [SECONDSCROLL_PAGEUP:MINUS] [SECONDSCROLL_PAGEDOWN:PLUS]
These values are set in the data\init\interface.txt file. Default values are:
[SECONDSCROLL_UP:SUBTRACT] [SECONDSCROLL_DOWN:ADD] [SECONDSCROLL_PAGEUP:DIVIDE] [SECONDSCROLL_PAGEDOWN:MULTIPLY]
which refer to the -+/* keys on the numeric keypad, not those on the main keyboard.
Additional Up/Down Z-Level Keys
Some players may feel more comfortable by switching the PgDn/PgUp keys to control moving between z-levels, though this is not recommended should you use the numpad for movement.
[STANDARDSCROLL_PAGEUP:9] [STANDARDSCROLL_PAGEDOWN:3] [CURSOR_UPRIGHT:] [CURSOR_DOWNRIGHT:] [CURSOR_UP_Z_AUX:9] [CURSOR_DOWN_Z_AUX:3]
