I have a Bluetooth keyboard that has no NUM PAD but simulates it on the main letters keys (eg "L" generates "3")
Unfortunately, it powers up in "numlock" mode so always generates a number and there is no "NUM LOCK" key or key combination to disable it.
I have contacted the manufacturer and they sent me a long list of possible key combinations - sadly none worked.
It is a very nice keyboard, light and compact, but I dont need a keypad anyway.
I can do this under "windows" by setting an option in the bios to disable the NUM LOCK at boot time.
Is there a way to do the same on a RPI 4B or 3B ???
Regards,
Dave
