Hi Pavel, thanks for looking into this. Why not adding those mappings in the table so they are mapped by `self mapSpecialCharacter: keysym sym` ? G

Hi,
that is interesting issue. I have here a notebook with Numpad where I can reproduce it. Pharo is getting information from SDL2 and there nothing really seems to tell us that the incomming event is PgDown or similar key.
If I log incomming events in OSSDL2BackendWindow>>#visitKeyDownEvent:, I'm getting these values:
Num 3 a SDL_KeyDownEventan Array(835757 a SDL_Keysym#(4096 91 1073741915) 768 1 1) Num PgDown a SDL_KeyDownEventan Array(860624 a SDL_Keysym#(0 91 1073741915) 768 1 1) PgDown a SDL_KeyDownEventan Array(886723 a SDL_Keysym#(0 78 1073741902) 768 1 1)
(ignore the first number, the values in SDL_Keysym are mod, scancode, sym)
So the information about the key event only differs in the Num Lock modifier. It is way too low-level. I see now the only solution - to the the ugly manual conversion, You may try to install the attached *.st file (drag it on Pharo window and then choose to install).
I will open an issue.
Cheers, -- Pavel

Superimposed on the numbers are Home, End, PgUp, etc. When Num Lock is on, 1,2,3,4... works everywhere in Windows and apps. When Num Lock is off, Home, End, PgUp, etc. work in Windows and every app except in Pharo (9, 10 or 11). In Pharo, pressing the Home key does nothing at all.
FYI. Above the Numpad are two keys: (HOME / PG UP) and (END / PG DN) They work in Pharo with the FN key to get HOME and END.
I hope this helps.

Hi, in Schmidt, we use Pharo 11 on Windows and Home and End keys work for us. Tested in the code editor and Calypso lists. Do you miss it in some special context, or does it not work for you at all? Do you use some different input methods? Or keyboard layouts are the boring European ones.

yes, but for windows the recommended way is to use the pharo launcher installer : https://files.pharo.org/pharo-launcher/windows <https://files.pharo.org/pharo-launcher/windows> or, if you want to download the standalone VM: http://files.pharo.org/get-files/100/pharo-vm-Windows-x86_64-stable.zip <http://files.pharo.org/get-files/100/pharo-vm-Windows-x86_64-stable.zip> Esteban

Does Windows get as good support as Linux or Mac? I am waiting for the Home and End key to work on Windows. Thanks, Aik-Siong Koh
