Disable Num Lock Key Permanantly?
« on: November 18, 2014, 11:33:33 PM »
I have a Lenovo laptop which has a number keypad. It also has a Num Lock key that I am constantly hitting by mistake and turning off my keypad. Is there a way to disable the NumLock key but not disable the keypad, or have the keypad permanently 'on' regardless of hitting the NumLock key? Thanks!

You can remap the key to something else after you make sure it's on. There are several programs that can do this. GIYF.

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

I googled "remap keys windows" and the first 10 results look like they're relevant.
Autohotkey
I'm not too familiar with AHK, but it seems overkill for this.
