Almost. It becomes "*2; /3".  But I think it should be come "/2; 3" as
it used to.

Also "*2/" becomes "*2" while I think I'll change it to be "/2".

I just noticed that it shows "*2; +3" as "*2; 3" -- I think this is
wrong and it should show the + in this case as it used to.

Thanks - I noticed a similar thing with pressing F1 while holding or
pointing to a number. In the case of the number pad it depends upon
whether numlock is on or off (works OK with it on). In 3.79 it ignores
those strange keys.
