Number Pad Not Working with Premiere Pro on iMac Pro

[WIGTV]

Hi - I have updated my mac to Montery 12.0.1 and updated to the latest version of Premiere too. I noticed that my number pad on my Mac keybord is no longer working while I am working in Premiere. I can still use the numbers on the top of the keyboard, but I find the number pad a little more handy. anyone else notice this...??? Is there a fix? Or did I just do something goofy and switch something off somewhere?

Thank you!

I can't type numbers in text box using NUM keys it goes straight to timecode in program monitor and wont type numbers? A 2022 program issue, works fine in 2021 program.

Hi Remii,

I'll move this post to another one on the same topic.

Thanks,

Hi Kevin,

I have PP installed on both MAC and PC, though I normally use the MAC. To my big surprise this issue does not exist on the PC where the numeric pad works as normal.

I know we have moved this subject to user requests but it should really be a bug report!

Same, really need this updated! Can't work out how to solve problem I think Adobe had changed in new update.

I had the same issuse when using the alternative keyboard on right hand side, the numbers worked fine when using the top numbers on mac keyboard?

[Remii L]

Yes that’s my issue too, the top numbers work but the right hand side ones don't work for text.

That is the issue I was reporting...I hope they decide to fix that in a future update!

I posted your user voice requrest to my companies teams page.  We have about 40 people in our network that all use Premiere.  I asked that everyone go and up-vote your request.  Thank you for this!

[WIGTV]

Wow! That's really cool! I hope it helps Adobe look into this issue!

Hi WIGTV,

Glad to report that the feature is now in the product. Press Shift and then enter the numbers on the Num Pad.

Thanks,
Kevin

I just noticed this issue for the first time while creating a title. For no particular reason I tried holding down Shift while I hit the number on the Number Pad, and it worked! I'm on version 22.1.1 in case that makes a difference.

YES!!  Holding the Shift key works, thank you!!

On my Mac Pro runiing V22.0 in Essential Graphics the Number keys  default to a time code window entry instead of the text box. Yes I can use the keyboard numbers but for lots of numeric entry I prefer the number keys pad. 

Is there a fix to this?

It's working in 22.1.2 with the Shift key.

Thanks!!!

Frank,

I learned that the feature is now actually in 22.1.2. Just press Shift first and then enter the numbers.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Community,

This issue is fixed. Just update Premiere Pro.

In version 22.2, it appears that you do not need to press Shift any longer to enter numbers using the Num Pad. Just enter the numbers after clicking with the "T" tool. Deselect the text to use the Num Pad for Timecode navigation.

Let me know if this is working any differently for you.

Thanks,

Kevin

[TechTim]

Yep!  Good to go!
