Press Keys editing on Laptop keyboard

I'm working on editing macros while on my Laptop, but that means not having access to the numberpad, etc. I've been using "Press Keys" for entering key commands/etc - is there a way to record things like the numberpad if I don't have access to that on my laptop? Is there a different/better way to approach that? (Last night I found and plugged in an old USB keyboard, but that's not ideal...) :)
Thanks!
