Doing something with the numeric keypad

I, like most people, don't use the numeric keypad on my keyboard much and they seem to me to be a complete waste of otherwise perfectly good eighteen keys.

I was wondering if there was something cool that could be done with them - I've heard of some people con开发者_StackOverflow社区trolling their mouse pointer using the 2, 4, 6 and 8 keys, but that does seem very practical to me.

Any ideas?


Low tech solution:

Remove the keys (easy with a pencil) so the key won't exceed the border, then you could glue a piece of wood over it and get a cup holder.


I use my keypad keys for adding, subtracting, multiplication, division, numerical data entry, etc. Now I'm going to use my CTRL, SHIFT, and W keys together to try and figure out what this has to do with programming...


Why not create a custom keyboard layout?
Real languages often have special characters you could put there.
Alternately if you use APL you could put their 'unique' characters in there.


Try using AutoHotKey http://www.autohotkey.com/, and setting up some hotkeys for common tasks that you perform, for example:

  • Opening my computer
  • Opening your data folders
  • Opening web browser
  • Copying as plain text
  • Sleeping the computer
  • Etc.
