BuXb Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I can reprogram the numlock key into any other key in ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict with "\UF739" = "keyNameHere:"; , e.g. "\UF739" = "deleteForward:"; so the key is correctly mapped as UF739 as should be. Since Google did not reveal anything I have tried anything I could think off as keyName: clear, numlock, numLock, they all do not work. Also tried custom keyboard layouts in /Library/Keyboard Layouts Toggling between key and num pad naturally works just fine in Wndows and Ubuntu Linux. Best I would want to have toggle functionality, but if that is not possible I would be fine with the keypad on by default. My BIOS does not allow that toggle, so maybe there is way to fix that in the DSDT, or maybe a kext that locks key pad? Looking forward to enlightenment in this regard, Bugs Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/222382-how-do-i-enable-num-lock-key-to-toggle-keypad/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuXb Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 weird - am I really the only one on whose Laptop keyboard this isn't working or who wants to use the NumLock toggle? Or am I the only one who has a HackTop with an extra keypad? That's one of the reasons why I bought this 17" Toshiba. Or did I post in the wrong forum? Hmm ...
