Shift + home keys not working

[=CrAzYG33K=]

Allright, I think it has been covered before, I'm not able to dig up or find anything on these.

I have a Lenovo G550 Notebook, with a US keyboard layout (dedicated Numpad on the right). Now the quirk is.. the 'Home', 'End', 'PageUp' & 'PageDn' keys on the numpad do work in Ubuntu (They double up as 7, 1, 9 & 3 respectively, when Numlock is turned on), but what doesn't is Shift + 'Home', 'End', 'PageUp' or 'PageDn'.. Is there a setting to do this? I just have gotten used to it in Windows (for say, easily removing the typed in URL on a web-browser, using the keyboard), it seems like alls' lost without it

well, I am pretty sure in linux those are browser dependent, if you cant find it in System>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts then I would say try looking in the browsers preferences. If not there, then I guess you are stuck scrolling like the rest of the world.

try setxkbmap command on the terminal and see if every thing goes right

No go

No other Ubuntu user faces this problem ???

EDIT:
It looks like it works when Numlock is on, for some weird reason
Is my keyboard all barfed up?

Finally found out the solution :

System -> Assistive Technologies
-> Keyboard Accesibility -> Layouts
-> Layout Options -> Miscellaneous compatibility options
-> Shift with numeric keypad keys works as in MS Windows

This is great. Worked also with my Easy Note TJ65 and Ubuntu 11.10. =)

Edit: I would suggest to rename the Topic to "shift + numpad keys (home, end, ...)" instead of home (as it aint the only key affected).
