I’d do the full sized keyboard if you are willing to go that route. I have
found that some external numpads do not fully support NumPad commander features
beyond the top level of commands. In other words, adding a modifier to a NumPad
command will not work.

Thanks to those of you who replied to my question. Do you think, it would be
better to get just a NUM pad for my MacBook Air or full-size keyboard? I do
have an old Apple bluetooth keyboard I use at home with my laptop. If I get
just the numb pad, I can take it with me. Although, these days, I don’t
really need to take the laptop with me. So maybe it would be better to get a
regular full-size keyboard.
I have not thought about using the full-size keyboard with my iOS devices.
Has anyone used VoiceOver with the NUM pad on their iOS device?
My MacBook Air is a 2017 model. Hoping Apple will keep supporting it for
another couple of years. It seems to be doing well so far. Won’t be upgrading
to a new computer until I need to. My last MacBook I had for almost 8 years
until the hard drive went out. It was the old spinning car drive.

I use a Bluetooth keyboard with my iPhone XR very easily. I have never used
a numpad, but can’t imagine that it would be any more difficult. I have also
used a MacBook Pro with a USB keyboard attached that had a numpad, and had
absolutely no problem, in fact assigned VoiceOver functions to the numpad
keys for easier navigation. My current MacBook Air doesn’t have enough USB
ports for this.
Go for it!

Good afternoon
I was wondering, do any of you use a numb pad with VoiceOver? Or use the
full-size keyboard? Is it easier to run VoiceOver using number pad?
