MacBook/MacBook Pro Number Pad
(update) here is the download and documentation for Num Pad for Pro Tools on Mac computers: www.darrylramm.com/NumPad/NumPad.html
Num Pad for Pro Tools is a custom macOS Accessibility Keyboard. Clicking on the soft keys in Num Pad is the same as typing on a physical keyboard number pad. This is mostly intended to be used with Avid Pro Tools on MacBook Pro computers where there is no physical numerical keypad. Num Pad is compact since it implements only the number pad part of a keyboard, unlike say the standard Mac Accessibility ANSI Keyboard that emulates a whole keyboard with cursor keys and number pad. Num Pad can be resized to often be small enough to be left on the screen without being in the way. Num Pad uses standard Pro Tools custom keyboard symbols and labels. It works in Pro Tools Numeric Keypad Classic, Transport, and Shuttle Mode (Pro Tools Ultimate only) modes. Num Pad works with any modifier keys on the physical keyboard. Importantly Num Pad works with Pro Tools Locked Shuttle and Shuttle Mode (Pro Tools Ultimate only) just like having a Mac keyboard with a physical number pad.

Re: MacBook/MacBook Pro Number Pad
Just cleaning up some XML/plist stuff and I'll share here. Making custom accessibility keyboards on macOS is very poorly documented and it takes some playing around to get things looking good.

Re: MacBook/MacBook Pro Number Pad
Seems like a nice thing for those very occasional (for me) times when I need to do something with PT on a laptop. Would love a copy!

Re: MacBook/MacBook Pro Number Pad
Will this be an actual product? I would definitely purchase if it truly allows modifiers from the laptop keyboard to be combined with numpad only functions like Control (numpad) - or + for example.

Re: MacBook/MacBook Pro Number Pad
Product no. Freebie yes.
You can try it above. All modifier keys work, all keyboard modes work. So for example Control-<number> works for Shuttle Lock Mode. |

Bump, see the first post, with link to the Num Pad for Pro Tools documentation and the download.
