Numeric keypad keyboard reassignments

Hi, I'm struggling with remapping some keyboard short-cuts. In the past I had a keyboard with a numeric keypad and I was used to using that keypad for all my event editing purposes. The problem I have now is that I have a laptop with no numeric keypad.

When I go into Vegas to edit keyboard short-cuts in the customize keyboard menu I'm struggling to find what I'm looking for. The problem is to find what you're looking for, you can press the currently assigned keyboard short-cut keys and the customize search will jump you to the assigned command. Well how do you jump to the command if you don't have a numeric keypad?

What I'm currently trying to customize and re-assign is the keyboard short-cuts for.

Slip trim selected events one pixel left/right = Alt+Numeric Keypad 4/6

I just can not find that assigned keyboard short-cut in the customize keyboard section to be able to re-assign it.

As an FYI for better insight of what I've been trying to achieve overall.

This is my current setup.

Where between the Behringer X-Touch One MCU and Wireless Numeric Keypad I am trying to configure both of these to eliminate any keyboard button presses and minimize mouse clicks. It should be able to provide me most everything that the Neve Audiofile recorder/editor I had used in the past.

With the combination of MCU button command assignments on the XT1, AHK key assigment remappings to the numeric keypad and these slip scripts I feel I'm really close.

It should work/look pretty similar to this Neve Audiofile at this point.

Then the 2nd part of this I am also trying to setup, is if I only have my laptop for remote recording (ie XT1 and Numeric Keypad not present). I will create a separate AHK script for that setup and remap numeric keypad assignments to my laptop's built in keyboard.

I likely caused some confusion in this discussion because I had started with the 2nd part of the remote recording I was trying to achieve, but then shifted to the more important part of my studio setup I was trying to achieve.
