What do I exactly mean? Let me tell you what the numpad is. It is a part of a keyboard and it has various keys. If you press one of the keys, you get a corresponding symbol in an input on your display.

A numpad is far more complex than that. It has various modifiers, and generally odd meaning of keys, with or without these modifiers.

I have been through long struggles with key events on various systems, keyboards etc. Nothing what you think it is is actually there at the bottom. Key handling has become a big challange on modern computers. This is no joke at all.


Just a personal question: did you try to use the numpad on your keyboard before you sent your reply?

No.

These days a numpad is relatively rare on keyboards. (I have one at the big laptop at home, but it has quite different behaviour than the more regular numpads on old-style stand-alone keyboards.)
