WOW! I was on over an hour with apple support and they escalated it up the tech line. And you figured it out! We have found out that it was in some settings because another user on the same machine could make the numeric keypad work.


Thank you so so much for fixing this secret!


It was the Mouse Keys that did the trick in Accessibility shortcuts! Thank you again!
