1. Turn numlock off
2. press 5 on the numpad
3. turn numlock on
4. press 5 on the numpad

If you create a script with an _input(event) function and print(event) inside, do you get anything printed when you press numpad keys with numlock disabled in the Output panel?

I wonder if Godot can even "see" the key presses here.

[ghost]

Yes, the event gets printed out.

I guess this can be fixed by assigning a second shortcut by default once #51273 is merged.

I am quite confident this is 100% expected and correct. The shortcuts for the 3d editor are for Keypad numbers.

The whole point of numlock is that is switches between two different functionalities of the numpad. See below from this site.

In Godot, make a script with func _input(event): print(event.as_text()) and with numlock on it will print numbers (KP_8, etc), and with numlock off, it will print home, pageup, end, UNKNOWN, etc (for 7, 9, 1, and 5 respectively).

Indeed, that's expected behavior. We could handle both events for the 3D shortcuts but I don't see much point doing so, as it may conflict with existing shortcuts, or prevent users from using those keys for their own shortcuts.

If #51273 is merged, we can support this out of the box while allowing users to customize both shortcuts.

For future reference, I can't reproduce this issue on master on Linux (using the fr-oss keyboard layout). So this appears to have been resolved indirectly somehow.

If this is still needed on other platforms, feel free to use https://github.com/Calinou/godot/tree/editor-shortcut-add-non-numlock-variants as a base. I haven't added all 3D editor shortcuts, but it should be easy to do.
