I've been using three different standalone numeric keypads for years. For me, customization has been a matter of 1)Elisp code 2)Operating system 3)Whether console or gui mode. 4)If console, which emulator. I do note that there are all kinds of programmable keypads available from Amazon, but many are pretty spendy. There's an awful lot of things that can be done with just a ten-key pad. I even set up emacs so that I can switch my keypad from "navigation-only" mode to "special purpose" mode. In gui mode in linux, my emacs knows the difference between Control-Home and Control-Keypad-Home. (as an example) HTH -- Tim http://www.akwebsoft.com, http://www.tj49.com
