Apple themselves recognize that Numlock must be supported on non-apple OSes:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1216 In short, yes, Clear button is supposed to work as a Numlock, only not in MacOS. I've seen many discussions on this topic already, I think whatever hardware is used, Ubuntu must support what Ubuntu users want. If this particular keyboard is plugged into a Mac it's a Mac keyboard, when it's used with Windows it's a Windows keyboard, and when used with Ubuntu? I guess it should be Ubuntu keyboard! I'm an Ubuntu user and I want Numlock. I don't care whether it is supposed to be used as such or not. I don't care about what is printed on the buttons (there are keyboards without any text at all, so what?). I want the functionality that I'm used to. -- Slim USB Apple Keyboard not working correctly when pressing the "numlock" key https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201887 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
