Hello, i have a laptop without numpad.
How to use numpad Keyboard Shortcuts ? For exemple numpad * to Expand the currently selected category, including all child categories, recursively.

Thank you so much.

Hi,

there are standard Windows tree control shortcuts (not IMatch shortcuts).
Usually your keyboard has some sort of "Fn" or "fnLock" key which, after pressing, allows you to use the normal 1..9 keys and then it simulates the Numpad. See the documentation of your device for more info.

Hello, thank you for your help.

I don't have this 'fonction' with my laptop.
the key * 'standard' and the key * on numpad is not the same key.

I don't understand how to use this  shortcuts with my lap top.
I have a Samsung 900 X 3C annd in the manual there is nothing about numpad.



thank you so much

The Function key is marked Fn on your keyboard on the bottom row next to the right of Ctrl key and the to left of the Windows Key...
