[ltp] NumLock

[D. Sen]

But here is the problem: I used xev to see what keycode was associated with
the numlock/scrolllock button. It  turns out to be 78 (even with
shift+scrolllock/numlock). It would need to be 77 for the (keycode 77 =
Num_Lock) to work. Right?

Yet, there must be a combination of keystrokes that produces 77. I know that
because I accidentally hit them :-)
