    Disabling the ability of toggling numpad by pressing shift key.


    I have recently discovered that by pressing shift key, you are capable of temporarily switching numpad modes from numbers to Home/End/PgUp/PgDown and arrow keys. Despite shift toggling the keypad being quaint, I have never used or needed this and it is bothersome as I use my keypad for assigning mouse macros in gaming. How can I permanently disable this function in windows?Thank you.

    :)

    What recognizes the Shift key as a trigger to disable numpad? This is not a normal Windows setting.

    Argh, took me forever to figure out what was causing this. I use displayfusion and have the prevent deactivation function bound to the insert key. Worked wel enough for years now.

    The problem begins when I try to use my razer naga mouse in games and bind key combinations. The 10 key on the mouse corresponds to numpad 0.

    I need to be able to bind shift+that key. Every time I pressed shift+that key it would toggle the "prevent deactivation" in displayfusion and I couldnt figure it out. I thought it was some kind of default shortcut in displayfusion or something.

    Turns out, holding down shift disables numpad. In doing so it reverts the mouse 10 key from numpad0 to its non numpad state which is (you guessed it) insert.

    I believe via my convoluted research a means exists to modify this behavior via registry but thats well above my paygrade.

    Anyone know what key needs to be deleted or modified?

    It does that for my laptop too. With NumLock turned on the shift key turns off the effect of NumLock while it's pressed. Apparently it's always done that - certainly did back in 2004....
