Options->Customize Keyboard

Set them to whatever you want.

Most laptops have a Fn key at the bottom left of the keyboard which makes the normal keys perform extra functions. In particular, the

7890
UIOP
JKL;
M,./

keys can be made to emulate a numeric keypad, like this:

789*
456-
123+
0 ./

or something similar. (Mine is a UK keyboard - the exact arrangement on yours might be a bit different.)

To use this function hold down the Fn key and press the NumLk key. You will then find that the keys above act as a numeric keypad; to go back to normal mode just hold Fn and press NumLk again.

Of course. But then you are denied the shortcut keys M, J, K, L, U, I, O, P, until you again hit Fn or NumLk again. Truly inconvenient.

I couldn't think of editing without my M or U keys, or to find out I had typed 0 or 4 instead. Assigning the 4 and 6 functions to something like , . would be far more convenient.

Many thanks for the tips guys, the Lenovo *does* have the fn key.
I'll play around with both ideas and see if I can get them to work.
