Numpad

Numpad is a lightweight and straightforward software utility that emulates a virtual numeric keypad.

The installation process runs smoothly and does not bring any surprises whatsoever, so in no time you will be able to benefit from the features of the application. After you run Numpad, it starts minimized in the notification area and you can open its main window with a keyboard shortcut.

The interface consists of a numerical keypad that helps you easily insert numbers in a text box or any other text editor, by using your mouse cursor to select the desired values.

Numpad comes in handy when your keyboard does not offer a numerical pad, which is the case with laptops that are not equipped with that specific keyboard area, or when you want to insert sensitive data, like PIN's while accessing your online bank account.

The tool also displays the Backspace and Alt keys that are not on the usual numeric keypads, helping you with inserting your data.

Numpad's interface can be customized in order to fit your needs, by adjusting its size and the button's dimension, as well as the space between the keys, thus avoiding accidental input of numbers. You can also change its appearance using various colors for buttons, symbols and the background.

Numpad provides you with options to modify the keyboard shortcut that launches its interface, by selecting any function key from F2 to F12.

Another feature the utility offers you is the possibility to automatically run it at system startup, making it very accessible.

To sum thing up, if your laptop does not have a numerical keypad or you want to insert sensitive data without using the keyboard which can be monitored by keyloggers that record the keystrokes, Numpad proves to be a reliable software solution.
