On many older laptops and some compact keyboards there is an integrated numeric keypad in the main keyboard area.
#NEDIT NUMBER KEYPAD NOT WORKING HOW TO#
How to emulate integrated numeric keypad cursor keys in linux It's a standard US keyboard, defined as such to both Linux and KDE. Relevant information (that I can think of): It's as if those keys were disabled, yet I'm sure that:ġ) I had the numeric keypad working when I first started KDE after installing Slackware 12Ģ) I did not touch the nf keyboard section at all (just the video and mouse)ģ) The problem seemed to rear its ugly head after I had used the KDE Control Centre for the first time. This is most frustrating as I use(d to use) the keypad all the time! I start up my Slackware 12 and boot into a console window in which I can use the numeric keypad with gay abandon (no, I'm not gay, it's just a manner of speaking ), but when I run startx and I'm in KDE, it does not matter what I do with the num lock key or the KDE Control Centre, I cannot access the numbers on the keypad! Why is the numeric keypad on my standard keyboard not working with KDE? How it may happened to me: blender-3d uses a lot the shift-key while editing, and the numeric-keypad keys to s give a note - i could not find it in the. If someone finds the file and entry this setting is saved for every session, pls. "Enable Mouse Keys" - "Select this option to make the numeric keypad emulate mouse actions." (that is: system->preferences->Keyboard) the point Reason: one can disable the numeric keypad with pressing: Shift+NumlockĪnd it will be disabled until one presses again Shift+NumlockĪnd i do not know why i could not notice that in the gnome keyboard setup
Switching to text-console via Alt-Shift-F1 proves numlock is working. Numeric keybad is suddenly disabled, pressing numlock does not work any more, every numeric keystroke only moves the mouse-pointer, reboot and newstart does not help, (shure, using a different keyboard shows same not working numeric keypad).
Numeric keypad disabled, only mousemoves results
