Short description of error
When disabling Numpad Lock, the numpad keys should use their alternative functions instead of numbers:

But Blender seems to keep using numpad numbers regardless.

This would be a helpful feature, if it is possible. For example, if the number keys on the NUMpad are different (in programming) then we could assign a whole set of different shortcuts to them, and enabling/disabling the NUMlock would trigger one or the other set of shortcuts.
Taking this a step further, the CAPS lock may also be used to trigger a whole new set of possible keyboard shortcut keys. So one set of shortcuts for caps lock off, and another set for the caps lock on.
These "locks" would act like another modifier keys like the ALT, CTRL, SHIFT, except they have the capability to be locked on/off.

Thanks.

Thank you for your report. While we understand the importance of this feature to you, this is not currently considered a bug, so the issue reported here is a request for modified/improved behavior and not a bug in the current behavior. SO we should close.

The state of the key affected by NUMlock or CAPSlock is currently not considered in hotkeys. They are considered in places for input text though.

Not saying this couldn't (or shouldn't) be improved, but will have to be strict here due to the following policy:
