Just checked. I have a lap top so I can't say I'm using the "numerical" keypad,
but the comma key generates a period. This must be hell to anyone trying to
do accounting, paying bills or other numerically intensive data entry. I, at least
use the numerical keypad on desktop computer, which means I have not needed
the comma for long time (on a desktop computer). I may be that paying bills does
not require the fraction that often when using kronas. Finns should have a real
problem though.
