The key can be turned on/off via the internal keyboard (Fn+F11) or the
external keyboard/keypad. Num Lock affects the external
keyboard/keypad only.
Shift state is NOT required for the cursor movement by the numeric
keys.
The state of the Num Lock is not changed by the attachment/removal
(hot plug) of the external keyboard/keypad.
When On, the screen moves one line up or down when pressing the up
or down cursor keys. Scroll Lock is not applicable for all applications.
Pressed alone, this key has the same effect as clicking on the Windows
Start button; it launches the Start menu. It can also be used with other
keys to provide a variety of functions.
