Number lock – I prefer it on. In fact, I cannot recall a situation in which I have ever needed to actually turn it off – my interactions with the key are always relegated to ensuring the light is illuminated on the keyboard. As a result, I wrote this simple script that more or less ensures number lock will remain on. It’s somewhat useful to eliminate this nuisance and is also relatively handy when working with virtual machines.
