thanks for clearing kvkdb appearance up, but it's the other
problem that's driving me crazy

In no pop up input box (sftp login, run command, etc) can
I input numbers from any keyboard.

Holding down fn and pushing, for example, q produces
q, not 1 (does not matter whether sticky keys are on
or not, I can't get numbers into pop up input boxes).

I can type numbers in applications no problem ...

Very weird
