very useful.
What do you use it for?
What symbols are on those keys? [...]
Arne, you are a genius! [...] That's exactly what I use it for! Amazing!
There are of course also other uses than those: E.g. when I press Win+3/PgDn
my windowmanager will slam the currently active window into the lower right
corner. (and with Win+5 center it) These uses do not obviously follow from
the *symbols* on the keys as much as from their position.
That type of usage of the numeric keypad was very common in
the pre-mouse days.
I think it is rare today.
I do not refute the "rareness"-aspect, but it's not really from old days,
either, as there weren't "Win"-Keys back then
In those pre-mouse days, the number block doubled as the one and only
cursor key block.
