Hi Alan, I suspect this will not be possible, certainly in the short term.
Have you considered re-mapping the number pad keys. I have re-mapped my NumLock key since I always have this set to on. You could for instance, remap the NumLock key to a colon and that way you wouldn't take your hands from the numberpad. The easiest way to do this is using AutoHotKey. If you are familiar with AHK I can provide you with a script, if not, I can provide you with an .exe file. Let me know. On Thursday, 4 June 2015 16:03:46 UTC+1, Alan Limebeer wrote: > > Wow!
