Long ago the Bit Twister sent this


My numberlock is not activating despite being set. Same

for junk. It goes on and on...

1. In /etc/sddm.conf... ↓

[General]
InputMethod=
Numlock=on

2. In Plasma's System Settings... ↓

Hardware → Input Devices → Keyboard → NumLock on Plasma Startup
Under Plasma,
systemsettings5 => Input Devices => keyboard => Make sure it is set
to a 105 key keyboard type as by default it is set to 86.
Then, right under, set it to "Turn On" instead of "Leave unchanged".
$ grep Numlock /etc/sddm.conf
#Numlock=
3. Optionally, still in System Settings:Keyboard, click the
"Advanced" tab and click the "+" next to "Compatibility Options".
Tick the box next to "Numeric keypad always enters digits (like in
macOS".

Thank you. I couldn't find the option indicated in step 3, but
I made the settings indicated in steps 1 and 2. On the next
boot, I'll be able to check if the settings will work.

I hope they haven't changed it

It's in System Setting used to be on the taskbar next to Control Center

then it's Input Devices > Keyboard
the first tab is "Hardware" where you select keyboard model and
numlock
The next setting is buried in the "Advanced" tab
