Kate does not react to numpad keys when Num Lock is off. I.e. when I press 1 (End) or 7 (Home) the cursor doesn't move, pressing . (Delete) does not delete a character. The keys work in other applications, like Konsole, Firefox or Chrome. xev also reacts to keypresses. Here is an example of pressing .: KeyPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x7200001, root 0xd6, subw 0x0, time 56687402, (-950,1019), root:(421,1076), state 0x0, keycode 91 (keysym 0xff9f, KP_Delete), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x7200001, root 0xd6, subw 0x0, time 56687551, (-950,1019), root:(421,1076), state 0x0, keycode 91 (keysym 0xff9f, KP_Delete), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False Numpad keys are essential on some laptop keyboards, where normal keys are harder to reach. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a file in Kate. 2. Try pressing NumPad keys. Actual Results: Kate does not react to keypresses. Expected Results: Keypresses should be treated similarly to regular keys (Home, End, PgUp, PgDown, Delete, etc.)
