//
// Demonstrate keyboard remapping: Force number pad to type numbers even if NumLock off
//
// DESCRIPTION
// -----------
// This demonstrates several important things:
//
// o How to use the global event dispatcher function Fl::event_dispatch()
//
// o How to remap keyboard events
//
// o How to use Fl::event_original_key() to easily ensure the dual purpose
// numeric keypad keys generate only numbers even if NumLock is off,
// without affecting the dedicated Home/End/etc keys.
//
// Use of Fl::event_original_key() ensures someone hitting e.g. "7/Home" key
// returns FL_KP+'7', and not FL_Home, while allowing the dedicated "Home" key
// to still generate FL_Home. This allows users to use the "Home" and "End"
// keys to navigate the buffer, while "7/Home" and "1/End" always type numbers.
//
// This demo based on fltk.general thread entitled "keyboard mapping", Aug 2019.
