Descrizione

Description of the new feature / enhancement

The Keyboard Manager "Remap keys" function has remaps available for all the NumPad numbers (0-9), but there is one more NumPad key that is usually toggled with a NumLock key: the NumPad '.' (decimal point) button.

Usually a NumLock toggle that turns OFF NumLock will allow that key to function as "Delete". Unfortunately this one NumPad key has no listing in the "Remap keys" feature. If you could add that remap, it would make the NumPad remap options complete.

Scenario when this would be used?

I have a keyboard where the manufacturer has decided to make the NumPad keys numeric-only. (No NumLock toggle key)

For 30 years I've been using keyboards with a NumLock key that can toggle NumLock OFF. That way I can use the standard NumPad placement for directional keys, etc. (Home, End, PgUp, PgDn, etc. which are in standard placements on NumPads, but are in various non-standard placements elsewhere. Therefore my muscle memory is highly linked to the NumPad with NumLock toggled OFF. With a standard NumLock toggled OFF, the decimal place '.' button on the NumPad acts as a Delete button.) "Remap keys" is perfect for this remap purpose except for that one missing NumPad key remap option.
