Enabling numeric keypad

Hi,
I have a java application where I cannot use the numeric keypad on the keyboard while running it on linux. The NumLock is on and I still cannot use them (nothing happens when I type on them). I do not think its soemthing in my code since when I run it on Windows the numeric keypad works fine. Unless I have to do something special for linux... does anyone know why this happens? I checked it on some other application (not mine) and I had the same problem. Help anyone?
Thanks

It sounds like a problem in linux. I suggest you ask the forum for the version of linux you have.
I am not aware of anything you need to in java to enable to num lock.

Any ideas on why the numerical keypad on the far right isn't working?

Any ideas on why the numerical keypad on the far right isn't working?
I am running Windows Vista Business with ALL of the latest M$ updates.
I am running have updated ALL of Apple's updates also.
I can't get the numerical keypad to work. All of the other keys on the main keyboard work perfect.
TIA,
-Apple //GS

Hi,
what Apple keyboard do you use ?
Usually the Num-Lock function is enabled using the 'Clear'-key (directly above the '7'-key on the numpad).

Numeric keypad cursor movement keys no longer work in Firefox

In any text box, on any web page, plus in the address bar, plus in the search box, the numeric keypad cursor movement keys (home, end, up, down, left, right) no longer work
NUMLOCK is off
SCROLLLOCK is off
The regular cursor keys, plus home, end etc.all work fine
The numpad keys work fine in other applications (e.g. textpad, notepad, word, openoffice etc.)
This only affects navigation in a text box
I am running windows, and just to make sure, I backed out the last windows update and restarted my pc - problem still exists
I have tested with a different keyboard via USB, problem still exists
I tried restarting firefox in safe mode, problem still exists
OS Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, latest update is KB2952664
Firefox 29.0.1

You can check for issues caused by one of the installed and enabled extensions.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Numeric keypad emulator for MacBook Pro?

I've noticed that the state of the Fn key can be read in software, rather than just being a hardware-level modifier key. How do I know this? There's the Keyboard Viewer and StickyKeys, which both treat Fn just like other modifier keys.
Anyways, you know how the new MacBook Pros don't have the embedded numeric keypad? Well what I'm wondering is if there's some software to bring this back. You know, it can intercept keyboard messages and, if a key that would normally be part of the embedded keypad is pressed, check whether or not Fn is held down. If not, it will type the normal character. If so, it will type the number. Certain programs require the numeric keypad, or are at least much more usable with it (Blender, anyone?) and it would be really nice to have something like this. Thanks!

You can install the KeyRemap4MacBook PrefPane:
http://www.pqrs.org/tekezo/macosx/keyremap4macbook/
...and remap the fn-key to fn-key-with-numlock, where fn-key-with-numlock enables the "missing" embedded numeric keypad on the newer MBPs.
@Tuttle - how does that help the OP? There are USB and Bluetooth numeric keypads everywhere (I've even seen them in gas station convenience stores!). There's even 'an app for that', if you have an iPhone/iPod Touch. But, the OP is asking about the embedded numeric keypad which is present on older MBPs (like mine) but was dropped with the Early 2008 models.

My Logitech K750 numeric keypad stopped working after last update-numbers only

After the last Mountain Lion update, the number on my numeric keypad will not function. They work for my login, but then become inactive. I have tested the system with an Apple keypad, same thing! What happened? Is there a keyboard setting that needs to be reset?

Dianefromblaine,
Thank you. My K750 number pad stopped working on my iMac. The keyboard and number pad 'do' work on a different Mac, so I suspect it is some setting on the iMac. I did a Safe Mode start, reset the SMC, and repaired the disk permissions. The dongle was plugged into an USB Hub. It is now plugged into the iMac USB port. The keyboard has a 90% charge, but still does not work. Then suddenly it started working again, but stopped after about one month.
I found your "Accessibility>Mouse and Trackpad" suggestion and deselected "Enable Mouse Keys". My number pad works again.
Thanks.

Numeric keypad portion of my keyboard does not work

The numeric keypad portion of my keyboard does not work for some reason.
I have tried pressing the "clear" button ovet the "7" key but no go. I have to force
quit now when in InDesign if I use the number pad by mistake. HAve repaired disc
permissions and disc, am at wits end.Please send help! Thanks.

When pressing the Clear button over 7, also hold down Shift - i.e., press Shift-Clear.
Also check in System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse and make sure Mouse Keys has not become enabled. If it has, turn it off.

U150 Numeric Keypad - Where is the Enter Key

If you enable the numeric keypad on the U150 keyboard, which key is the Enter key? I need this for InDesign and other applications, where the Numeric Keypad Enter key has special meaning.

I see now that it's context dependent. However, when entering text for a search string in the browser, Swiftkey shows a "Send" key instead of "Enter/Return". When I have an Enter/Return key there, I can just press it and the browser starts my desired search immediately. With the "Send" key, I press it and nothing happens other than a space character appearing immediately after the search string! If I press it twice, the browser will finally start my search.
This is just the wrong context for Swiftkey to have a "Send" key in place of the "Enter/Return" key. In fact, I'd rather have it be an "Enter/Return" key all the time, that has always worked for me in all contexts. So I'm about ready to throw Swiftkey out of the boat, although I've happily used Swiftkey on Android for a couple of years...On Android Swiftkey, the "Enter/Return" key never changes to a "Send" key, so I think that this is just broken on iOS 8. I really don't like it when keys on a keyboard change depending on context, anyways, that just a badly designed user interface.
If they don't fix it soon I'll be dumping Swiftkey until they do fix it. I really did like Swiftkey on Android, but on the iPad not so much. Maybe I can find another keyboard, other than the Apple keyboard, that works well on the iPad. Bums me out, I was looking forward to being able to use Swiftkey on iOS 8 like I could on Android.

Lost numerical keypad function

During the middle of a long photo editing session the num lock light went out and the numeric keypad ceased to function. Pushing num lock didn't change anything. Removed all other USB devices, tried all the USB ports, restarted, reinstalled OS. Nothing worked. Replaced keyboard with new one and repeated all of the above. Still nothing. Any suggestions?

Are "mouse keys" on?
Try this:
System Preferences - Universal Access - "Mouse" tab - mouse keys: off
worked for me.

How can I use my iPhone 4 as a numeric keypad for my ipad?

I am a teacher that uses my ipad for entering and keeping tracks of grades. The one thing that would make this perfect, is if I could use my iPhone as a numeric keypad. I have found many ways to use the iPhone/ipad as a keypad with a PC but not ipad. There must be a way.....they sync/talk to each other all the time. HOW?

I read it and I do have a hot spot I use it for my laptops inter net but I want to know if I can by use of my phones USB connection use it as a dongle. My laptop doesn't have the bluetooth hardware I need to update the software in my cars hands free kit it's downloaded in my PC but no way to install without bluetooth. What I'm trying to do is .
Labtop+USB +iPhone bluetooth to bluetooth +car kit. Is there an app I need or can I configure it on my PC

Using Numeric Keypad In Oracle Forms 6i

Dear All,
I am facing some problems when I am Working with Numeric Keypad on Oracle Forms 6i.
I have 10 Buttons and In Every Button Property I have defined the "Access Key".
e.g
Buttons | Property   | Value
Button1 | Access Key | "1"
Button2 | Access Key | "2"
Button3 | Access Key | "3"
Button4 | Access Key | "4"
Button5 | Access Key | "5"
Button6 | Access Key | "6"
Button7 | Access Key | "7"
Button8 | Access Key | "8"
Button9 | Access Key | "9"
Button0 | Access Key | "0"Example : When I will Press Only "1" Using Numeric Keypad, Message Window will appear with the Message "You have Pressed 1..."
All Buttons are functioning Properly when I Pressing (One Key Stroke) 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 using Numeric KeyPad.
But I am not able to apply this Technique on "*" , "/" , "-" , "+" , "." , "Num Lock".
How Can I utilize these Characters(*,-,+,/,NumLock) in my application to perform a certain task using Single Key Stroke through Buttons or any other way in Oracle Forms 6i.
Note : We don't want to give Keyboard / Mouse to User. We have given a Numeric KeyPad to the User for a Certain Task.
Thanks in Advance

It works for me on 10g but the only pitfall is the " * ", the workaround is to use the " & " in the label next to the key you want.
for example:
Button*   label &*
Button-   label   &-
Button/   label   &/
Button+   label   &+
Button.   label   &.Try it

Display flashes white when I hit 0 on numeric keypad...why?

Using Logic Pro 9...
When I hit the 0 (zero) key on the numeric keypad as a transport control alternative, the entire display flashes white, and Logic does not respond as it should when 0 is pressed.
I thought maybe this was an accessibility option, but in "System Preferences > Universal Access > Hearing" I see that "Flash the screen when an alert sound occurs" is not checked.
Also, hitting the other number keys causes the Logic window to get hidden for a brief moment.
Any ideas?
-Allan

Being a new Logic user, it's a pleasure to be able to help someone here!
In 9.0.1 Apple changed the behavior of unmapped keyboard commands. In 9.0 you'd hear the Apple 'donk' sound when you hit an unmapped key; in the latest version you now get a flashing screen.
As for your other question, it's because those keys are assigned to changing Screensets. You might want to Google that one - one of Logic's nifty workflow features.

Update jtable cell via numeric keypad

Hi,
I have a problem, trying to figure out how to input numbers in a jtextfield in a jtable cell, from a group of jbuttons (rendered as a numeric keypad). I can get the cell to focus, but when I click on one of the jbuttons in the keypad, the cell loses focus and nothing is printed. I can update the cell by directly typing from the keyboard; that works fine. But I'm lost when trying to do it from the touch-screen keypad. Can anyone point me in the right direction. I assume I need to attach additional listeners somewhere.
Thanks in-advance.
Lee

I can get the cell to focus, Then the code for you button would need to be something like:
String text = (String)table.getValueAt(...);
String updated = text + button.getText();
table.setValueAt(updated, ...);

Engaging the Numeric Keypad

Hi, would someone please tell me how to engage the numeric keypad when running Quicken in Windows on an iMac? Thanks.

Does the keypad work properly in other places?
If not, press the Option key 5 times. You should then hear a short series of clicks, and it should work properly. See System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse for details.
