I am using a Microsoft Sculpt keyboard with a separate numpad.
When using xcircuit I place the numpad to the left of the keyboard so I can
operate the mouse with my right hand, and the keypad with my left.
My setup is win8.1 running mobaxterm to a real linux box which runs
xcircuit.
mobaxterm brings its own x11 so there are layers of possible points of
failure here.

How would I write those script parts when I want to modify the anchor
position?

When I press Num-Lock, I get report from xcircuit "Key 0x000000 not bound
to any macro.
I was not able to distinguish which mode the num-lock is in.

By original functionality, I meant the KP_8 and not Shift_KP_8. I am trying
to get the text anchor thing to work without pressing shift key which
complicates the placement of numpad to the left.
