Coffee++ on laptop with no numberpad

Hi there,
Coffee++ looks great but when using a laptop there is no special numberpad.

In this case I have numbers only available as Alt-Gr+n which seems awkward.

Any thoughts?

usually every notebok has a 'Fn'-key, that changes a part on the right to a numberpad.

but the numbers with alt-Gr are positioned as ergonomic as possible, in a circle, so it will be easy to learn to type numbers really fast with the right altGr-key hold pressed

the numbers on the Qwert-layout all in one line are 'awkward'. ;)

Ok, never used it till now. This is for typing a couple opf consecutive numbers then, isn't?

Currently, I'm used to switch workspaces in my windows manager using MOD4-n (0 < n < 10).
This would be now: MOD4-AltGr-n. Hmmm.

you can either try that, or use
MOD4-Fn-n.

did you download the winXP
Portable ENTI-key++V21.zip?
and try it?
(its a stand-alone program - ne installation needed)

Not ideal, but yes, this should work.

I don't run Win XP. Currently, I'm not at home. I'll have a look at it at the weekend.

i am curious:
how is your progress with entikey++ ?

i am using it nearly a year now and i am still not as fast as in qwert.
but i like the one hand typing a lot now.

i turned one of my extra mouse-keys to AltGr, which is handly
