Simulate a numeric keypad right on a mac laptop keyboard?

Is there any software that can simulate a numeric keypad right on a mac laptop keyboard - like hold down a function ket or whatever and some keys become like numeric keypad?

revDAVE, I use [KeyRemap4MacBook|http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook> to emulate a numeric keypad on my keyboard. In KeyRemap4MacBook’s “Change FN Key” category, this is done by selecting the “FN to FN (+ When you type FN only, send FN_Lock)” checkbox. When the fn key is pressed and released by itself, the numeric keypad emulation is toggled; otherwise, the fn key continues to act as usual.

  • Numeric keypad locked Mavericks on Mac Mini Older Wired Keyboard

    Using Mac mini on mavericks and I can't unlock or get the extended numeric keypad to work
    I have tried two different wired USB old style apple keyboards and the extended numeric keypad won't work using either keyboard
    I've tried pressing the Num Lock key and holding it down
    Something I don't know? Please help

    If you can't get this sorted out, why not just buy a new $12 Logitech usb optical mouse from Walmart, which will have left and right mouse buttons.
    Control+click is the same thing as clicking with the right mouse button on a two-button mouse. Problem solved.
    BTW I use these inexpensive Logitech mice on all the Minis I set up.

  • The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working. Help!

    The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working with my Macbook pro.  If I plug the keyboard into any other computer, that entier key works fine. I'm using a standard Mac wired keyboard, & it's worked fine for 2 years now. Help!
    This is the keyboard I am using: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B/apple-keyboard-with-numeric-keypad
    Not sure what I might have accidentily done to disable the enter key. (The normal enter key works fine, just the one on the numeric keypad.)
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi there,
    Do you have any resolution to this problem in the end? Because it happened to me an exact same thing.
    Please share if you have found a solution to your problem. I also cannot think of what I did wrong to disable the Enter key.
    Best Regards,

  • Multiclip Bug with MacBook Pro Numeric Keypad?

    I'm having the issues with FCP 5.1.4 using a MacBook Pro with both Targus and a Adesso numeric keypads. Although the Targus is not listed as such, the Adesso is advertised as being OSX compatible. But regardless of which numeric keypad I use, regardless of which keyboard layout I use, regardless of which modifiers I use or map, I am completely unable to make cuts using modifier keys with either of the numeric keypads listed. Blue markers show up, but then the cuts are not made. I can switch video angles without modifier keys. I simply cannot cut to a video angle with a modifier key. HOWEVER...if I map the unmodified numeric keypad 1 and 2 to cut to a video angle, then ALL modifier keys (Shift, Opt, Ctl, and Cmd) will also now do the same.
    The numeric keypads work in other apps, and seem to even work within the alphanumeric fields in FCP. It's the modifier keys that simply won't work correctly with multiclip editing.
    This is a 2 camera project project that was shot WITHOUT matching timecode and was subclipped to keep everything in sync. Playback is fine in multiclip mode, and the multiclip buttons in the timeline button bar do work without problems. In fact this may be the only way I'll get this project done, which is a real pain.
    Thanks for any and all help.
    Thanks for any help,

    The only two options is to force quit out of the application, but this will NOT correct the problem when you restart iPhoto. I was only able to regain access to the top left library window when I unplugged the external display. This allowed me to regain control by shifting the iPhoto Library window back to the Macbook Pro screen. Once again I've never had these issues until upgrading to 10.10.2. My workspace set up has been the same since 2011.
    That was bit drastic, to exit Full Screen Mode this way.
    The green button is the new way to use iPhoto in Full Screen mode in 10.10.2.  To exit FullScreen Mode, either use the escape button, or "Exit Full Screen ^⌘F" from the View menu.  The main application menu will appear, when you move the cursor to the upper border of the screen.
    If you Force Quit, iPhoto will stay in Full Screen Mode, when you restart it.

    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).

  • Director MX 2004 Mac OS X numeric keypad

    Hi,
    I am new to this so please excuse the basic question. I would
    like to use the numeric keypad for number entry in Director MX 2004
    on a Mac. It doesn't seem to work because I think the keys are
    assigned to shortcuts. The only keys that work are 2 and 9. Is
    there any way to turn this off so I can use the keypad for typing
    numbers? Number lock doesn't seem to do anything and there doesn't
    seem to be anywhere to change the settings in preferences. Thank
    you in advance for your help.

    This might be more trouble than it's worth in authoring mode.
    You probably need to install a blank menu to trap these events with
    your own menu system (see 'installmenu' int the help).
    In a projector or shockwave however, I believe this issue is
    gone. In authoring you can use the standard top row of the keyboard
    instead.

  • HT5636 need mac numeric keypad to work on a windows program in boot camp

    I have an iMac and am trying to use my wired numeric keypad on a windows program running in bootcamp. how do you make this work?

    Do you have BC drivers installed? Is there a Control Panel -> System -> Boot Camp option? In the Boot Camp panel, do you see the following options?
    The drivers should be similar to the following in Device Manager.

  • Apple aluminum keyboard w/o keypad not working with Mac Mini

    I'm in the process of reconfiguring our old Mac Mini to run some of our old games that no longer run on the newer Macs. We had a spare Apple aluminum keyboard (without the numeric keypad) which I thought I'd use with the Mini. The alphanumeric keys work fine, but the function keys don't seem to. (In particular, I can't get the volume keys to work.)
    I've checked my keyboard settings in System Preferences. Software Update shows everything up-to-date.
    The aluminum keyboard WITH the numeric keypad works fine with the Mini. Also the keyboard without the keypad works properly with my Intel iMac.
    Does anyone know what's going on?

    Hi,
    am I right in assuming that you are talking about the Wireless Aluminum Apple keyboard ?
    If so, the 2009 version of it requires OSx Leopard 10.5.8 to work properly.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1809
    The 2007 version of that keyboard requires at least OSX Tiger 10.4.10 plus this keyboard software update http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2394
    Maybe downloading and apllying the update can help.

  • Apple USB Keyboard with Numeric Keypad Problem

    Hi,
    I have a Mac Mini macOS 10.5.8
    I just bought an apple USB keyboard with numerci keypad (aluminium) and am having problems
    1/ If i hit @ i get <
    2/ if i hit < i get @
    3/ the function keys do not work : if i hit fn F11 it displays the desktop (as F11 does also), i was expecting lower volume
    4/ if i hit fn F12 i get the widgets (as with F12) i was expecting higher volume
    etc....
    It seems my USB keyboard with numeric keypad is not recognized.
    If i look at the Keyboard Visualizer (top right) it displays a keyboard that does NOT look like mine, it is smaller.
    Why isn't this keyboard correctly recognized ?
    Thanks
    Marc

    ok thanks for the tip and yes i admit i didn't see that...
    but it seems a little weird to have to upgrade all the OS to Snow Leopard just to use a keyboard.
    That kind of new device should be configured through a driver to download...shouldn't it ?
    I presume there's no keyboard driver that can solve my problem.. ?
    so you confirm that if i pay for Snow Leopard and upgrade my OS, my keyword will definitely work correctly with my Mac Mini ?
    Thanks

  • Using new wired keyboard (w/o numeric keypad) with Windows Vista

    I have a 2008 Mac Pro and a Windows PC. They share the same monitor, keyboard and mouse via a KVM switch (I use the Belkin Flip DVI-D KVM Switch, model F1DG102D). My keyboard is the Apple wired keyboard with numeric keypad, which works fine with my Windows Vista PC, even with no Apple-specific Windows driver installed. My keyboard tray is pretty small, so I would like to get the new Apple wired keyboard which doesn't have a numeric keypad. I don't need the numeric keypad anyway. However, I will miss the home, end, page up, page down, and forward delete buttons. The Mac Pro has a way of simulating these keys. However, the key combinations to simulate these keys don't work in Windows Vista. My question is: how do I simulate these keys from Windows Vista? My guess is that possible options are:
    1. Use some Vista keyboard mapping software. If so, any idea what might work?
    OR
    2. Use Apple's keyboard driver for Windows Vista (32-bit). The keyboard comes with boot camp, but I don't use boot camp (since I have a separate Windows PC). How do I go about getting a standalone Apple keyboard driver without having to install boot camp?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi randman.
    I have a similar problem but it seems there is no solution. The new wired keyboard is not event working properly with BOOTCAMP. Vista doesn't recognize the keyboard as Apple keyboard and even forcing the device manager to use the Apple keyboard driver is not working.

  • F14 not working as PRINT SCREEN for XP with apple numeric keypad

    i posted this elsewhere but i am basically desperate to get a couple things finalized over here so apologies if no one knows how to solve this one. just sort of hoping to get some things out of my hair once and for all...
    i have an apple keyboard with numeric keypad on my mac pro running windows xp and windows 7 in addition to Lion.
    for some reason the F14 key is not getting me a print screen despite spending a /lot/ of time trying to get this working.
    can anyone help me get this figure out finally? there is a lot of info on the net about this but now much help.
    mac tech articles seem pretty sure that F14 should be working.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5636
    what am i missing?

    hi mooblie.
    a huge (HUGE!) thanks here for the help. i have been googling this off and on for about a year believe it or not.
    anyway, the lowdown appears to be Snip tool in win 7 as you indicate (right click i think it was to a save on taskbar once it was opened) and then i used Applekeys2 which i downloaded while in windows xp.
    two notes for those that come after. 1. i did download keyboard layout creator which is a windows tool but it seemed much more powerful (and complicated) than i needed at least for this initial issue to get me going finally.
    2. i can't remember if snip tool will drop an image file in a folder or on the desktop but i did FINALLY REALIZE that part of my problem here with windows XP was that you HAVE TO PASTE the captured image into a windows image program (i am using "Paint" i think which i also pin to the taskbar). this was a major pain because having gotten used to the mac screenshot i was totally clueless that it did not function so seamlessly in windows!!
    anyway, in short the Mac screencapture could be considered a "screencapture and save to file" and the windows (XP at least) could be called a "screencapture to windows whatever memory and then DON'T FORGET you will have to paste it somewhere..."
    this requires a /lot/ of clickthroughs so i am still looking for:
    A. one shot screencapture to file on desktop funtion in the windows OS's
    B. screencapture /selected/ area instead of whole screen since this also requires post editing that i would like to avoid.
    anyway - BIG THANKS.

  • Numerical keypad not functioning in Windows partition of Boot Camp

    Unlike other users, the new keyboard is working fine in Windows -- mostly. Any ideas on why the numerical keypad on the far right isn't working? Is there a "Num Lock" key that I need to press when on the Windows side? If so: where? Can't find it on the keyboard.
    Also: does anyone know if one of the software applications (Parallels or VM Wave Fusion 2) is able to mediate these hardware issues?

    FYI, and for a bigger list of the Windows - Mac keyboard mapping see:

  • Numeric Keypad USB Keyboard

    Hello,
    As my Alias says it, I am new to Mac. I purchased an external keyboard which has a numeric keypad. The MacBook and the external keyboard have the French Canadian layout.
    When I use the numeric keypad, the comma/period key defaults to comma. To get a period (i.e. decimal point) I have to use Shift+[,] or [CapsLock]+[,]. Is it possible to set the default action to a period and the alternate action to comma?
    Thank you

    Thank you for the tip.
    And unfortunately you were right. I tried many keyboard configurations and none would give me the period without loosing the french Canadian keyboard layout. Another funny thing is that the caculator will accept either the comma or the the period as the decimal separator. In Spotlight only the period is valid as a decimal separator.
    Maybe this should be a feauture request for an upcoming keyboard driver update.

  • How do I get PowerBook G4 with Tiger to identify external Numeric Keypad?

    I just bought a Travel Solutions Portable Numeric Keypad Model 60-320, which says on the packaging System Requirements: Windows 98, 2000, Me,XP or Mac OS.
    The Installation instructions say:
    Connect the USB cable of the Numeric Keypad to the USB port on your computer. Your computer will automatically read the keypad. You are now ready to use.
    I have Mac OS X 10.4.7
    When I plug the Keypad in the Keyboard Setup Assistant opens, with Introduction: Your keyboard cannot be identified and will not be usable until it is identified. To identify this keyboard click Continue.
    On clicking Continue, one is required to press the key immediately to the right of the Shift key on the left side of the external keyboard.
    It apparently did not occur to whoever wrote this Setup Assistant that people are more likely to want to plug in numeric keypads rather than full keyboards, and that numeric keypads do not have Shift keys!
    How do I get the computer to identify the Keypad?
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   15"

    Welcome to the Discussions!
    I cannot answer your question, but maybe you can return the keypad you bought and get the Kensington keypad/calculator <http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00009L1XO/102-7465461-6085726?v=glance&n=172 282>, which works fine with my PB G4.
