That's correct, numlock needs to be on or the numpad special keys act as you mentioned.





I just tried to copy and paste this into the chat bar, but unfortunately the numpad 9 key is still not able to be used to input.

I also tried the other method I mentioned earlier, but the numpad 9 key still will not register in the keybind options menu.


I found this as well, no resolution though:

I think you need to just leave NUMLOCK on all the time. With it off, I think the 9 and 0 are sending signals the binding panel doesn't accept. And you might have to rebind your 1-8 keys with it on, since they may have been sending different "keys" when it was off.

Of course, I may be completely wrong. That is always an option.

I just want to clarify, I leave my NUMLOCK on all of the time.

However, the numbers 9 and 0 specifically do not register within the keybinds options menu, this is with NUMLOCK on.

They function in the chat bar of the game with no issue, but pressing these two keys (and these two keys only) simply does not register in the keybinds menu.

if you remap the 0 and 9 keys to something else, say 'w' and 's', do they work in that case, or is it that STO does not accept input from those two physical keys?

I got it to work right now by doing the following:

Go to Options -> Key Binds
Down to Skill #9, #10
DISABLE NUMLOCK!
Now you can remap skill 9 and 10 to the numpad keys 9 and 0.
Re-enable numlock.
Do the same for Ctrl and Alt.

And final step, make sure you have re-enabled numlock and rejoice

EDIT: You don't even have to re-enable it.

STO is not accepting input from the physical keys with NUMLOCK on.

I've tried mapping them to other keystrokes, with no luck.

I tried this just now, but unfortunately the key does not respond when pressed.

I was able to map the keys with NUMLOCK off, but once NUMLOCK was turned back on, pressing them did nothing.


Thanks for trying to help though.

Huh, strange, worked for me. Tried remapping Ctrl to Shift, that failed completely the way you described it. Fun fact: After I did remap the 9 and 0 keys, the system forgot my 1 key, had to remap that, too.

I'm stumped at this point for options on how to resolve this.

I'm not even sure where to begin looking for more ideas.

Ok a little something new.


I created a bind file and then added:

Numpad9 "UseTraySlot0 8"

I hadn't noticed when I previously attempted this, but when I press this key this is the message I get:


[System] "TrayExecByTrayNotifyAudio" takes 5 argument(s).
[System] trayexecbytraynotifyaudio <int> <int> <int> <string> <string>
