The key pad has two modes. On Linux, the it's initially set to being numbers. 
It can be toggled between the two modes via the num lock key.

You should be able to use the arrow keys, page up/down, and home/end to do the 
same thing. If even they don't work then maybe the cursor tracking feature 
(bound to Function-t) is turned off.

Did you notice if the underscroe is or isn't working?

Remember, after changing settings in the menu, to save your changes.

I'm curious to know if the function key works with more than just letters. 
Perhaps you could log what happens when you press it with numbers, the open and 
close square and curly brackerts, etc.
