Description Fernando M. Muniz 2024-12-12 20:01:39 UTC 
I'm requesting that NumLock should be activated by default if the internal/external keyboard has a NumPad.

It's far more likely that the user who has a NumPad wants the NumLock to be enabled, than disabled.

This shouldn't affect detected keyboards that doesn't have a NumPad.

With the difference being that the merge request is for all keyboards, instead of being exclusively for the ones that have a numeric keypad.

On my Raspberry Pi keyboard, it does not repect the KDE settings. But SDDM does respect the KDE settings.
