I have a USB keyboard: $ cat /etc/udev/hwdb.d/70-numpad-always-on.hwdb keyboard:usb:v*p* KEYBOARD_KEY_70062=0 KEYBOARD_KEY_70059=1 KEYBOARD_KEY_7005a=2 KEYBOARD_KEY_7005b=3 KEYBOARD_KEY_7005c=4 KEYBOARD_KEY_7005d=5 KEYBOARD_KEY_7005e=6 KEYBOARD_KEY_7005f=7 KEYBOARD_KEY_70060=8 KEYBOARD_KEY_70061=9 KEYBOARD_KEY_70063=dot (there's a space before every KEYBOARD_KEY, .hwdb files are syntax sensitive IIRC). Then as root: # udevadm hwdb --update and unplug/re-plug the keyboard. The only caveat is that you can't turn the Numlock "off" at all. : | -- Ahmad Samir
