Good evening everyone, here is my problem:
I just bought a second-hand IBM laptop and the keys on the right side of the keyboard have numbers in addition to the letters.
For example, if I type k, a 2 is entered.
I found a solution that doesn't really suit me; I have to hold down the (purple) Fn key at the same time to type the letter correctly. You will agree that this is super inconvenient.
In short, I am unable to configure the keyboard to cancel this function.
I heard that this detail is common to all IBM laptops; does anyone have a tip?
Thank you in advance and good night to those who are going to bed.

Hello
It's late for the reply but useful for the next ones, to enable/disable the numeric keypad on IBM it's the shift+scroll key

Hello,
I have an IBM and I'm having exactly the same problem with my IBM laptop, and even by clicking the fn key, nothing changes, for example k=2, m=0.
Could someone tell me what I could do?
Thanks in advance. -
Hello,
I have a Dell laptop where the keyboard layout seems to be the same.
To lock (or unlock) the numeric keypad, I press fn+Num Lock (on the F4 key).
Best regards.
