And you lose the ability to quickly enter numbers. I very rarely need to enter more than a few numbers at a time, and mostly use the ones at the top of the keyboard. I'd be just as happy having only the special keys on the keypad, as I almost never have a use for the other set. It's a matter of how and when I learned to use the keyboard, and a personal preference backed by several decades of habit. The main reason I mentioned it in the first place was to show that there are actually people who like to work with numlock off, because if nobody ever did, there'd be no point in having it at all. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
