Hello,
Why does ParaView not see the number pad on my keyboard? I have to enter numbers from above the letter keys and it is very inconvenient when all other software works just fine with the number pad. Is there some setting I can change?
Thanks!

I can imagine that this is related to the new Qt that comes with Paraview (I am using the Linux binaries from Kitware). I have no such issues in Paraview 5.6.0 and other programs. I found some Qt bug reports on this but I am not missing the devel libraries. My OS: [image]

Ah, holding shift does work for me. I am using Ubuntu 20,04 and 5.9.0.
Thanks!
