On my Samsung NP305E5A-A05US laptop, the numpad, except for the 5 key, has started acting like the arrow keys(6 moves the cursor right, 8 moves the cursor up, etc). However, holding the Fn key makes it work normally. NumLock only toggles the 5 key.

You must have your numpad not locked. If you have the numlock button, just press it, if not you can use 

  numlockx on

to install it : sudo apt-get install numlockx

  • That box was already unchecked. Perhaps I should clarify: By "cursor" I meant the blinking text cursor, not the mouse pointer. As I said before, the numpad behaves exactly like the arrow keys. It can scroll up or down on a webpage, navigate menus, and anything else the arrow keys can do.
