I use the number pad a lot, and the number keys below the F-keys
only for the upper case; so I keep my bios set to boot up with it on, and
expect it to stay on, unless I tell it otherwise. Yet lately I've been
being pulled up sharp a dozen times a day and more to sudden large
inconveniences which turn out to mean numlock is off. What could be doing
this? How can I tell my PC that num*lock* means LOCK, e basta!?
I never use the numpad for anything other than typing numbers so I use, rather an extreme, workaround to circumvent the Numlock key altogether.
I have a USB keyboard:
$ cat /etc/udev/hwdb.d/70-numpad-always-on.hwdb
keyboard:usb:v*p*
KEYBOARD_KEY_70062=0
KEYBOARD_KEY_70059=1

KEYBOARD_KEY_7005f=7
KEYBOARD_KEY_70060=8
KEYBOARD_KEY_70061=9
KEYBOARD_KEY_70063=dot
(there's a space before every KEYBOARD_KEY, .hwdb files are syntax sensitive IIRC).
Then as root:
# udevadm hwdb --update
# udevadm hwdb --update
and unplug/re-plug the keyboard. The only caveat is that you can't turn the Numlock "off" at all. : |
