Why does Key Mapper disable Num Lock when I remap my Pause key?
Key Mapper automatically disables Num Lock when you remap your Pause key, as otherwise Num Lock will toggle whenever you press the remaped Pause key. Even if you have Num Lock remapped to another key, it will still fire when you press the remapped Pause key, which could be very annoying: a useful side-effect of this though is that you can assign two keystrokes to the Pause key: the first is what you remap Pause to, and the second is what you remap Num Lock to. In order to do this, you have to remap Pause to the first key in the combination, let Key Mapper disable Num Lock, then re-enable Num Lock and map it to the second key in the key combination. For example: remapping Pause to Alt-F4: Map Pause => Alt Num Lock: => 4 Pause is thus remapped to Alt-F4, the shortcut used to close programs (or if the desktop has the focus, restart Windows) Another example: remapping Pause to the Euro symbol Pause => Right Alt Num Lock => 4 $ Pause is remapped to Right-Alt-4, the shortcut for the Euro sig
