Numpad Shortcuts for Autokey Folder Menu Options

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is related to Issue 159: Keyboard Shortcuts for Autokey Folder Menu Options

The new keyboard shortcut for Autokey Folder Menu works great when using 1,2,3 
at the top of the keyboard, but does not work when using the 1,2,3 Numpad keys.

I am requesting that the numpad keys be added as a valid keyboard shortcut 
options for numbers in the Folder Menu

The shortcuts are controlled by GTK itself - they are simply the default 
mnemonics behaviour that GTK provides and as such I have no control over it.

If you like you can file a bug against GTK and see what they say ;)

So is the issue that GTK is unable to capture any Numpad keys at all, or it 
won't recognize 1 and Numpad 1 as the same keystroke ?  If it's the later, 
could you not set up a listener to listen for both 1 or Numpad 1?

Not sure - have you tried it with Numlock on and off?

Yes, with numlocks off the up/down/left/right arrows are used and the 
highlighted selection moves up and down the menu.

Ah yes I see. Yes the bug is with GTK, it is not recognising number pad 
numerals as mnemonics

Let me clarify.  When I turn numlocks ON, nothing happens on the folder menu, 
it just stays open.  When numlocks are OFF, the highlights move up/down in the 
menu.  

Does the Main Scripting UI window use the GTK library, or QT?  When use "press 
to capture" using numpad keys I get:

0 = <np_insert>
1 = <np_end>
2 = <np_down>
3 = <np_page_down>
4 = <np_left>
5 = <np_5>
6 = <np_right>
7 = <np_home>
8 = <np_up>
9 = <np_page_up>

These are the same whether numlocks are on/off.  It seems that if you get any 
<nm_*> events, you would check to see if numlocks are on/off and then act 
accordingly.

Just some thoughts.
