Numeric keypad

Hi all,

On a european PC keyboard, the key next to the numlock key should be the "/" key (and not the "=" sign).
Can this be corrected?

Greetings from Seppe

I looked at keyboard and Seppe is right (microsoft keyboard)

Num lock / * -
7 8 9 +
4 5 6 +
1 2 3 enter
0 0 Del enter

doubles (0 0 + + enter enter) stands for long buttons

Maybe it is have some link with viewtopic.php?f=35&t=2685

Problem seems to be in numeric keypad code in kernel.
It seems this key is not handled as numeric key, and replicates same key code as the key left from shift.
Therefore, in english keymap, it's correct ('/'), but on other keymaps its not.

Issues in kernel with "/*-+" characters of numeric keyboard have been fixed (svn rev #4929)

Unfortunately, issues remain in some applications, because of the way how they use the keyboard.
