The Numeric Keypad

Hey guys, it would be really nice if the ALLkeys around the numeric keypad worked as one might expect. The - and / work, and the <Enter> key works in SOME places. But the + key and the * key do not seem to work at all...either that or they've been mapped to something I cannot see what it does.

Is this worth someone looking into? Or are there mappings somewhere that I am unaware of?

I'm actually curious about this one too :) Would be alot easier to use the number keypad when i'm building, is there a reason its 'turned off' so to speak?

There's no intentional reason that the numeric keypad doesn't work. When Num Lock is off, it should behave in the usual Home/PgUp/PgDn way. When Num Lock is on, the numbers should work. I'll bet the keyboard scan codes for + and / on the numeric keypad are different than those on the main keyboard. We'll have a look -- thanks for pointing it out!
