You mean like a virtual number keypad (i.e., 0-9?)

are the virtual keys supposed to be accessible via a function key, or
function-numberlock key combination? Mine works that way, but only in
windows. If I have the virtual number pad locked on in windows, then
boot into gnome-linux, there becomes no way to deactivate it. Same
goes for touchpad, wireless, etc. I have to boot back into Windows,
reenable, then good to go. I've confirmed this behaviour on my
specific laptop with both Ubuntu and Debian. I assume Windows is
modifying something at the bios level, that linux doesn't know how to
deal with. I've never considered testing this with a different
desktop to see if it persists, though.
