This feature has already been implemented, or is already achievable with existing methods.
If a person holds North macro at the same time as East macro, they would move diagonally Northeast.

And that counts for north+west, south+east, south+west.

Pretty much every other 2d game seems to have this capability. Hopefully BYOND can too.

You can do this in your own way, but this will never be default behavior (as I think its been asked for many many times).

You could take a look at my Smooth Tile Movement library for an advanced way of handling multi-directional movement via keyboard.

As said, this is quite easy to pull off yourself with fairly minimal effort. It's best to keep special-case features like this soft-coded in most cases.
