I'm using full keyboard with numpad (Generic 105-key intl.). I want to configure it in the following manner.

If NumLock LED is on (NumPad) is enabled, I want to make Numkeys working with <Shift> as in MS Windows:

  • <Shift+Num7> will be <Home>;
  • <Shift+Num9> will be <PgUp>;
  • <Shift+Num1> will be <End>;
  • <Shift+Num3> will be <PgDn>;
  • <Shift+Num0> will be <Ins>;
  • <Shift+Num.> will be <Del>.

I forgot how this option is called in mate-keyboard-properties of my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS MATE.
In previous versions it was located in "Miscellaneous compatibility options" and named "Shift with numeric keypad keys works as in MS Windows"

mate-keyboard-properties in 14.04 LTS

with Gsettings equivalent located at 

org.mate.peripherals-keyboard-xkb.kbd options [''compat\tnumpad:microsoft']

Could you please help me to set this option in my 16.04 LTS MATE?

The option is located in the same dialog menu - mate-keyboard-properties → Layouts tab → Options, but named a bit longer — "NumLock on: digits, Shift switches to arrow keys, Numlock off: always arrow keys (as in MS Windows)" (so it is not visible without scrolling):

mate-keyboard-properties on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS MATE

Notes:
1. What is interesting Arduino IDE 1.8.4 ignores this option (it is some Java-oriented problem).
2. The method above is also suitable for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS MATE.
