Numpad to enter numbers in nano?

I have a numpad, it prints numbers through ssh in terminal. BUT, soon as I jump into the nano editor, it does not print numbers, and can only be used for up, down, left, right, etc.

How can I get numbers in the nano editor.

Thanks!

The ‘clear’ key enables numbers within nano for anyone else in these particular set of circumstances.

Hey friend!

It should work fine with numlock on. I just tested in a few terminals.
