Why would anyone want a number pad at all (Don't answer that; I do
know the reasons, but they don't apply to me. Perhaps if it were on
the other side of the keyboard....)

For me, the number pad is just another set of keys that I can
program to do whatever I want. I have the number keys set to switch
between desktops and window manipulation (to back, to front,
select).

The keypad duplicates other keys.
