It's beginning to look like the fault is with macOS 12.6. I was on 12.2.1, and I called Apple Care for something else that broke, and they said to update to the latest version. 

I am currently investigating things like Mouse Keys. The numbers do move the text cursor (not the mouse pointer) around in BBEdit, at least. Still working on it.

This is why I hate updates and upgrades. Something always breaks, and it's usually or always something important.

Note that the numeric keypad number keys don't work in other apps, like Mail and BBEdit, except to move the cursor around.

OMG! It's working now! I must have stumbled upon the correct setting, but I'm not sure which one it is!
