Thanks. I've been trying out KDE 5 for the past week |
| 8 |
& generally it's usable : it's about as quick to start as Fluxbox, |
| 9 |
given that it starts apps automatically, cursor movements seem smoother |
| 10 |
& some window expansions are a bit cleaner. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
However, I've discovered that it's not recognising the numeric pad keys : |
| 13 |
they simply have no effect, even as surplus cursor keys. |
| 14 |
There was a discussion in a forum in 2015 about this problem |
| 15 |
& it was traced back to a bug in Qt 5.5 , supposedly fixed in 5.6 . |
| 16 |
I'm using 5.6 , but the problem is still there. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Has anyone else encountered this ? Are there any suggestions ? |
| 19 |
Yes, I use Numlockx & have tried all options in SystemSettings. |
| 20 |
The numeric pad works without difficulty in Fluxbox. |
