I see that you changed from KEY_KP* to KEY_*, unfortunately this change
will break users who have digits in upper register. KEY_KP* were not
perfect either since they are affected by NumLock state. I would
recommend moving to KEY_NUMERIC_* which should be unaffected by either
register, shift state or NumLock state.

Of course there is an issue of them being absent from most keymaps; but
nothing is perfect in thsi world ;)
