Hi,
I got a laptop with a French Keyboard, and added a side NumPad. Naturally to
get the numbers from the NumPad you gotta press NumLock then the numbers
print right. and this is a burden. each time I have to hit 3 keys. So I
Remapped the Scancode. The problem is that when I press Numpad 1 it sends to
scancode 2 which in French Keyboard is & (lower case) and 1 (upper case).
The Scancode system sends keyboard keys to other keys. I would like to send
a combination of SHIFT+Scancode 2 which will print 1 I've tried a bunch of
Keyboard Remaper software but the either work exclusivly with Scancode or
with the Keycode. Ex: If I remap The Numpad 0 to type 0 without Numlock The
Insert Key does the same and get no access to the INS Key, same as Numpad 1
and END will do the same.
Anybody know of a Numpad driver, software or a tweak so I can use the Numpad
without the SHIFT or NumLock to print numbers.
Thanks
Greg
