But why did the terminal choose those keys? Most games have chosen an up-down combo that are up-down from each other, rather than right-left.
The thing about ASCII Control characters doesn't quite map to left-up-down-right, and even if it were part of the answer, we could ask again: why were those characters chosen for those control-roles?
