The french just like numbers ok. Don't be weird about it...they do not like it when you mention it.

:)) It was a French who mentioned it. I thought there was a reason beyond just preference. Even so, people can prefer whatever they want. There are so many types of keyboards. Slimbook offers a lot of layouts. If someone wants one without the numpad, maybe should write an email snd maybe they can get it. I recently ordered a laptop from there snd I had a lot of back snd forth in the emails with them, because I needed their advice to decide. They are very helpful.

Probably because on a French keyboard you need to press Shift to access the numbers. You donโ€™t have a direct access like qwerty.

Ah, yes! I think that was the reason. Thanks!
