10.4 Keypad modes
The VT100 and VT52 emulation protocols require that the cursor
keys transmit different codes depending on the state of the
remote application. Most on-line services follows the VT100
recommendation for this, but several Editors and other programs
have their own ideas of how this should be handled.
If you enable the numerical keypad (Num Lock), the white cursor
keypad will transmit the numerical application codes for
VT100/VT52. If you have an extended (101/102) keyboard, the grey
cursor keys will not follow the numerical keypad setting.
By using the <Shift> key together with the white cursor keypad,
you can negate the setting of Num Lock temporarily. Ie. if Num
Lock is enabled and you press <Shift-Up> (8), the Terminal will
transmit the up key sequence to the remote. If Num Lock is
disabled and you press <Shift-Up> (8), the Terminal will transmit
the numerical application keypad sequence for 8.
