numlock and scrolllock always on with sharpkeys

(This breaks the Numkeypad functions Home,End, Pg Dwn, Pg Up, Arrows, ect., but they have their own dedicated keys on most full size keyboards.) (In AutoHotKey Syntax 'Shift' is represented by a '+' symbol, and '::' basically equates to an '=' symbol, so make NumpadIns=Shift+Numpad0 instead. 'NumpadIns::+Numpad0' 'NumpadIns' is the name of the numpad key with no Numlock enabled, while 'Numpad0' is the name when Numlock is enabled. Just to break down one example of the reassinments, take the fourth line for example.

This script allows you to always have Numlock enabled, and when using shift as a modifier to continue being able to use the numbers on the keypad just like the buttons across the top of the keyboard. (I like to keep my Numlock always on, and my Caps Lock and Scroll Lock always off, so those are the first three statements.) The rest of the script reassigns the 'Numpad function' keys back to 'Shift+Number' keys. The first three lines are personal preference and can be modified/removed completely if you want. However, if you prefer to bind your spells or attacks to the Numpad, you can not use the Shift modifier without it temporarily disabling your Numlock functionality. These three modifier keys (alt, ctrl, and shift) usually work great with the numbers across the top of the keyboard. (example: 1, alt+1, ctrl+1, and shift+1 can let you map 4 different spells to the number 1 key depending on whether you use a modifier key or not.) Simply adding an alt, ctrl, or shift to the same 1-10 number keys can sometimes give you an additional 10 keybinds using just one additional modifier key press. (Usually your main bar of spells or attacks are bound to the numbers 1-10 across the top of the keyboard. Gamers who play MMO's or Flight Sims (or other games with a lot of keybinds to configure) may need to use modifiers such as shift, alt, or ctrl to increase the number of spells or attacks they can map comfortably to their keyboard. This has been a known headache of gamers for a long time and causes the keypad numbers to become arrow keys, pg up, pg down, home, end, etc.

Anyone who enables Numlock to type numbers on their 10-key keypad may have noticed that the Shift Key temporarily disables Numlock while pressed.
