[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1628520, member: 38864"] Quite frankly that sounds like it's broken. Is it still under warranty? I absolutely would be getting up with Matias about it. I just looked up the keyboard to be sure, and that is indeed a "full" keyboard. There is no number lock because the number pad keys don't double as navigation keys. At least they shouldn't be. Do they do anything at all when used? Open up System Preferences, Keyboard. Under Input Sources, are you set as "British" in the left-hand column? At the bottom, enable the option "Show input menu...", then from the menubar item, select "Show Keyboard Viewer". Is there any reaction on that viewer when you press those keys on the physical keyboard? For that matter, if you use your mouse to press the keys on the virtual one? Karabiner is the only one I'm aware of that is up-to-date. [url=http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/25141/karabiner]Karabiner for Mac | MacUpdate[/url] An alternative may be to use OS X's built-in feature for customizing text replacement shortcuts. Open up System Preferences, then Keyboard. Go to the "Text" tab and take note of the defaults in there. For example, Typing "(c)" will be auto-converted to "©" when you hit the spacebar. You can create more of your own choosing. For example, you could make a pair of apostrophes convert to a quote mark, so '' becomes ". EDIT: I need to point out that this only works in "proper" Mac native apps. Some apps are compiled with cross-platform tools and can't access some of OS X's more advanced features like this one. Firefox is the most notable example of this, and Adobe's software. [/QUOTE]
