Resolving The Problem

How can the Enter key on the Numeric Key Pad be mapped to the Enter function rather than Field Exit regardless of the state of the Num Lock key (On or Off)?

Do the following:

2.	Click on the Enter key on the Numeric Key Pad.
3.	Under Select a Key-Action, click on the dropdown list for Function.
4.	Type Enter.

Note: If only Base is configured to be Enter and Num Lock is On, the key will behave as Field Exit.
