I'm using openSUSE 12.1. The keypad (with numlock off) triggers codes different to those of the corresponding keys (outside the keypad). While I can understand why that would make sense, it causes a ton of problems in non-KDE apps.


* in Chromium ctrl+pgup/pgdn doesn't change tab
* in Emacs lots of combinations with these keys won't work
* in most non-KDE apps shift is actually interpreted to override the numlock-off when used in combination with the keypad

I understand this is not exactly a KDE problem. But is there anyway workaround this problem using some configuration options made accessible by KDE? I've looked around but couldn't find anything :S

Thanks!

You are probably looking for the advanced keyboard layout options in System Settings > Input Devices > Keyboard > Advanced.
