What platform are you running Path of Building on?
Windows
Is your feature request related to a problem?
When NumLock is on, PathOfBuilding treats input from the numeric key pad as expected.
When NumLock is off, PathOfBuilding currently seems to ignore input from the numeric key pad.
Many/most programs on Windows (e.g. Notepad, the dialog in Chrome that I am typing this in, and Path of Exile itself) by default treat keypad input when NumLock is off as follows:
- Keypad "7" = Home
- Keypad "8" = Up
- Keypad "9" = PgUp
- Keypad "4" = Left
- Keypad "6" = Right
- Keypad "1" = End
- Keypad "2" = Down
- Keypad "3" = PgDn
- Keypad "0" = Ins
- Keypad "." = Del
Describe the solution you'd like
When I am typing in PathOfBuilding and NumLock is off, I would like the keypad keys to perform navigation like in other programs on Windows.
