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.
