Num Lock is just that - it locks the numbers on. Like Scroll Lock and Caps Lock.

+1 for pressing Tab. I was wondering why overtype kept getting triggered in Powershell... It's because I press Tab all the time for autocomplete

Poster did not mean caps lock. It definitely should have read num lock pertaining to 0 and INS
