For months I have been frustrated by my SonyVAIO inability to allow a USB numpad to coexist with a full QWERTY keyboard map. Then along came Ray Badstibner (AKA raymaxbad) who inspited me with his BpKeyboard.py script. I adapted his work to create the Laptop Numpad Script.
Save it as LapTopNumPad.py
Thanks,
Trevor Noble

This script allows easy blending on laptops that do not support a USB numpad to co-exist with a fully QWERTY keybord such (e.g. Sony VAIO).
Use SHIFT and CTRL keys modifiers as with a normal Num Pad.
Thanks to Ray Badstibner (AKA raymaxbad) for creating the BpKeyboard.py script which I canabalised.

Thanks for the additional code. Your modifications expand the virtual numpad to its full glory. I will update the link I just posted with your full key version.
