Possible to use keypad symbols (/*-+) while editing?

Question

I tend to have to type a lot a dates and hyphenated numbers into my charts.  I use "entitty relationship" boxes, where there is basically an upper and lower box.  When editing content by clicking into the boxes (red bordered box appears where contents changed) and editing, if you hit either the +, -, /, * keys on the keypad it zooms in, out, turns on magnifier, etc.  Is there a way to allow use of the keypad symbols ?

Or would this be more related to the keyboard shortcuts that appear to currently be unavailable for modification?

Thanks!

This is a long standing problem which we classified as low priority in the past. Lots of votes may change this ;-)
