&lt;p&gt;I have a different problem with numlock. &amp;nbsp;Some of the older VMS editors used that key (called the GOLD key) extensively in editing. &amp;nbsp;I plan to rework my editing options (I don&amp;#39;t use that editor much any more, but occasionally it is useful) to make the keyboard / into the gold key instead, since the numlock key always toggles numlock, in addition to passing the escape sequence into the Alpha.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is a nice freeware &amp;nbsp;utility I use (printkey) which &amp;nbsp;I have configured so that when I hit printscreen (alone) it is possible to drag-select a rectangular portion of the screen to import into printkey. &amp;nbsp;It can then be copied to clipboard, printed , saved as a gif, and modified (e.g. interchange black and white). &amp;nbsp;Very useful.&lt;/p&gt;
