Apr 6, 2023 at 0:43 comment added Aquarius Power numpad:mac worked perfectly! I has having a serious problem when I put numlockx on in a quick loop to grant I would not turn it off for too long while playing games (when I miss click numlock key), but that makes the X server or the WM freeze for 1s ever 5to15s, I thought I was having a problem with my HD or Videocard or RAM, some hardware problem, etc. But was numlockx called wrongly, so often that way. I wanted to comment this in case someone makes the same mistake.

I tried the xmodmap -e "keycode 77 =" (noted xmodmap -e "keycode 77 =" output first, so I could reverse); it worked, but also killed my Alt-Tab (switch applications) keypress.
