In Thunderbird and gedit, and I think elsewhere, my numeric keypad
insists on being numeric when I have the shift key down, even with
NumLock turned off.
Normally (under my Windows persona) I would place the cursor at the
beginning of an area, hold the shift key, and use the arrow keys to move
across and highlight a piece of text. This doesn't work in X using the
numeric keypad -- when I press the shift key, it does numerics instead
of positioning. I have to use those other arrow keys, which are far
less efficient for me.
Is there a way to correct this so that NumLock remains in effect with
the shift key down?
I've noticed that under CentOS the cut and paste operations are
operating much more consistently than they previously did under Linux,
so this NumLock thing is the last frontier as far as local operations
are concerned. (Still some flukes when logging onto other boxes, but
that's another day's battle.)
Thx,
Vic
