Is this still happening in Plasma 5.21? Not sure if this is still open but I have the same problem on Plasma 5.22.3 (Tested both on Kubuntu 21.04 and Manjaro KDE) OBSERVED RESULT: Typing on the numpad does not enter any characters regardless of numlock being on or off. Instead the cursor moves on the screen. Current workaround: 1. Go to System Settings -> Accessibility -> Mouse Navigation 2. Check "Use number pad to move cursor" and apply 3. Uncheck "Use number pad to move cursor" and apply Now everything works as expected until the next reboot. After reboot the problem repeats. EXPECTED RESULT: Enter characters if numlock is deactivated. SOFTWARE VERSIONS KDE Plasma 5.22.3 Manjaro KDE and Kubuntu 21.04 Hello, I'm experiencing the exact same bug. This is an old bug. I already struggled with this a few years ago. I've hotfixed it by executing `setxkbmap -option keypad:pointerkeys` in a terminal according to [this forum thread]( https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?t=106658#p247295 ). Then I was able to disable and enable cursor navigation by pressing SHIFT + NumLock instead of navigating to `systemsettings` » Accessibility » Cursor Navigation like described in the bug report.

So when you log off and on again, you have to execute the command again. To execute the command when you log in, you can add a desktop entry in ~/.config/autostart with the commands: ```bash # apply for this session setxkbmap -option keypad:pointerkeys; # create desktop entry to apply it for every session in the future echo -en "[Desktop Entry]\nExec=setxkbmap -option keypad:pointerkeys\nType=Application\nX-KDE-AutostartScript=true" > ~/.config/autostart/keypad_pointerkeys.desktop ``` Idk how much this could help nailing down the issue, but for whatever reason here I could only solve the issue after running once:
> xset -led named 'Mouse Keys'
(I had already proceeded to remove pointerkeys from the setxkbmap options, but to no avail)
