Numpad not allowed to be hotkeyed?

Ok, I recently reactivated again, and also recently purchased a Razer Naga. Really looking forward to using with STO and then...

I can't assign any hotkeys to the Numpad numbers? I went into the Space controls hotkey menu, and saw that Numpad is already assigned under "Bind #2" whatever that means.

Here is my problem:

Numpad will not input a hotkey into Bind #1.

After accidentally changing an already assigned numpad hotkey under the Bind #2 column, it is now impossible to input any numpad key as a hotkey now, for some inexplicable reason.

And also, as an another annoyance, even when Numpad hotkeys 1-8 were listed, 9 and 0 were not (although subtract and add keys seem to work.



WTF is going on? I gotta say this is a huge downer for me right now since part of the reason I reactivated was to control my ship with my new mouse...

    Alright, I figured this out. Apparently you have to turn Numlock OFF in order to hotkey anything having to do with the numpad.

    Definitely a confusing....idiosyncrasy...

    Is there a reason that this has to be this way that I'm just not aware of? I'm not very tech savvy, but it could be pretty frustrating for noobs like me. Feel free to lock or delete this, but I would recommend allowing hotkeying with numlock on, or at least having a tooltip about it if it has to remain off.
