The Num Lock key can be used to turn numeric mode on and off.
When numeric mode is on, the indicator light Num Lock in the
upper right-hand comer on the keyboard lights. The number keys 0
through 9, and
9
(decimal comma) then serve as a numeric keypad.
(On some national keyboard variants, a decimal point (.) is used.)
The keys are oriented in the same way as on a calculator, and this
makes repetitive entry of figures much more efficient than using the
number keys in the upper row in the alphanumeric section.
When numeric mode is off, the numeric keys 1 through 9 serve as a
cursor-control pad, and they have the same effect as the arrow keys
(<H-, X*
?) and
e Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down
keys in the separate cursor-control section. Also the keys 0 and
5
(decimal comma) have the same effect as the Insert and Delete keys
in the separate cursor-control section.
You can also use the Shift key in the alphanumeric section to
change between the numeric and cursor-control mode. If numeric
mode is on, the keys are shifted into cursor-control mode, when the
Shift key is held down. If numeric mode is off, holding the Shift key
down shifts the keys into numeric mode.
