It it doesn't work for you, maybe your keyboard layout doesn't have any keys in those levels.
I have tried it on a desktop pc with well supported logitech keyboard and on a linux supported Lenovo laptop and a dell laptop that originally came with ubuntu. Why would none of these keyboards have keys in those levels? Does it work for you?
It has nothing to do with the physical keyboard. It's the keyboard layout. You need to be using a layout that has keys defined in those levels. What keys are you trying to access?
On the Logitech keyboard the 5 with % and €. Same for Lenovo laptop. On the Dell XPS 13 laptop the 5 with % and € and the 4 with $ and ₹ (Indian Rupee sign).
I believe that it has not become clear to all readers. In plain words, you need a keyboard that has a number panel to the right of the letter keyboard. These number keys will also, adjacent to them, on the right, have a - sign at the top right, and a + sign at the middle right. These + and - keys have a DIFFERENT key code than the ones on the letter keyboard. Laptops don't have a separate number panel, and many--perhaps most--of the k/b's that come with new computers don't either. People who don't do numeric entry for a living mostly don't need that facility, so it gets left off--and saves money for the computer industry. --doug
