MC-129344Numeric Keypads does nothing when Num Lock is off.
Soo… A couple keys in my keyboard broke, including the up and down arrows. Although having Windows means I can toggle the Numeric keypad's mode using Num Lock, they do not work besides acting as generic keys for controls regardless of Num Lock.
FYI, on Windows, when Num Lock is off, keys on the keypad switch to map to a set of mostly navigational keys. Lazy to explain and avoiding super long reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_keypad
For example, while typing in chat, pressing 4 and 6 on the keypad without Num Lock does not move the cursor left or right ; nor is a '4' or '6' typed into chat (as if, just if, the game don't know Num Lock) .
I have tested other scenarios. In summary, the following actions cannot be achieved using a Numeric Keypad, thus limited to main keyboard keys only:
- Moving cursor in chat (4 Left, 6 Right, 7 Home, 1 End)
- Deleting a character to the right (. Delete)
- Scrolling in chat (8 Up, 2 Down)
- Switching lines in chat (8 Up, 2 Down)
This makes me jump to the conclusion that the game treats Num Lock more like a on-off switch of the keypad, not a lock.
I do not know if this is machine-specific, nor do I know if this issue is already reported but never fixed and yet the Search won't show me. I just don't want to get services while my family's income is still ridiculously you might say, low.
Side note: The keypad buttons work as controls, only ignoring Num Lock state as intended. BTW, in controls settings, "Num ." is written as "Num Del" and "Num Enter" is written as "Keypad Enter".
