What does the C stand for? And where is it on the keyboard?

There are others like _C_ENTER, _C_ASTERISK...

When you press num lock don't a couple of keys emulate
the num pad?

My laptop has got the keypad so that 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, /, *, -, + are located on the m, j, k, l, u, i, o, 7, 8, 9, 0, p, ;, / keys.

Num lock makes these keys active, otherwiise you can just hold the Fn key.

Does anyone actually use the laptop numpad like that? I've tried on my thinkpad but I can't get my brain to ignore the letters on the keys.

What about forgetting to turn off num lock when typing? I am sure you could train yourself to get used to it if you tried hard enough. For example you shouldn't be looking at the keys when you type.

I dont look at the keys when I type normally but to use the numpad I have to because the keys are offset from where they'd be on a normal numpad. Its too much hastle trying to use it anyway.

Whenever I use a laptop i do use the emulated numpad. Personally I find the row of numbers across the top painfully slow and innacurate.

it's not that hard to learn new keys. You just need to practise. I use qwerty and azerty both and it's not that I type faster on qwerty than azerty even though they are totally different.
