# 15.9. How do I start KDE with the Num-Lock on?

Have you tried 'man setleds'?

In addition, you might want to edit your $HOME/.Xmodmap and put the following lines in:

     ! redefines numeric keypad to be used without NumLock
     keycode 79 = 7
     keycode 80 = 8
     keycode 81 = 9

     keycode 83 = 4
     keycode 84 = 5
     keycode 85 = 6

     keycode 87 = 1
     keycode 88 = 2
     keycode 89 = 3

     keycode 90 = 0
     keycode 91 = comma
     keycode 86 = plus

     ! deactivates NumLock key
     keycode 77 =

Other possible alternatives:

1. xkeycaps: right clicking should allow edits. May have to do this as root.

2. "man XF86Config" and look under section Keyboard.
