AFAIK  It does NOT !
see $glut_src / test / glut / keyup_test.c

I propose we investigate runtime assignment to the keyboard
esp the number pad as it is such a natural interface for many
things.

ie- we start with a 'standard' binding < what we have now >
and then assign keys to 'push' a different set of functions

we need a general purpose 'pop' a set of bindings too.

then we can use the numpad to control everything by just 
'pushing' the appropriate set of bindings.

I have found that in practice this is quite easy todo and after
a little getting use to is  a very 'natural' interface with great
flexibility.

Cheers

Norman
