How to play without a numpad - 12/11/2013 12:46:03 PM

I just bought a new compact keyboard and it lacks a numpad. Is there a way to get the functions from the numpad on secondary keys or the ability to bind keys in future releases?

There are inexpensive USB keypads out there...

I bought a new keyboard because my space is so limited so I don't want to spend money for another thing that takes up space. But thanks for the suggestion.

I thought all the numpad keys had normal key equivalents. I saw a key list on some site but don't remember.

Also, I have never owned a laptop that didn't have secondary keys that represented the numpads.

The keyboard I have looks like this and has no numpad functionality. I really miss using 3 and 9 =(
But the keyboard itself is awesome a solid 9/10, would recommend (if not for the command trouble)!

If you don't want to buy a numpad or keyboard, you could probably use AutoHotkey to map other buttons/key combinations to numpad keys.

For 3 and 9, you can use Page Down and Page Up respectively. If you look at a keypad, you can see that some of the keys have equivalents like that written on them.
