apple slim keyboard defaults to using a directional pad when it should default to a number pad

This is not a duplicate of
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/201887

That bug was an actual functionality issue, this is more of a preference thing. i.e., Having numlock on or off by default on bootup.

My personal preference is that it is left the way it is, and the user should configure their system to have numlock on by default, but this is not the first complaint I have heard about this operation (especially since there are no arrows on the numberpad of these keyboards).

I don't see how we can allow the numlock to be left off if the keyboard has
no arrows

Oh my bad, I thought it was a duplicate, thanks for correcting it Ricky :-)

Justin, I understand this argument and I am not the one to decide either way. My point was that it is not a matter of incorrect operation per se (it functions as intended, just like it operates on other PC keyboards), but rather that the default settings for this particular set of keyboards (Apple's Aluminum keyboards) do not make sense for the associated key markings. Thus, there is not really a package to mark this as a bug against.

Jad,
No problem, it did sound similar.
