Shift + Keypad Cursor keys

[Matthew Clarke]

Ah ha, thanks for the tip.

yes when I toggle the numlock it toggles the behaviour.  this doesn't
solve the problem however, because then, in order to get the nice
selecting, the numpad types numbers rather cursoring.

so basically toggling numlock ends up simply toggling the problem!

I would like to be able to use the keypad cursor keys AND use SHIFT to select!

Cheers,
MC
