I recently purchased a Microsoft keyboard with a number pad.
When trying to use the Mac calculator app with the number pad I have an issue where typing a number will clear out previous numbers.
E.g if I wanted to type "100" in the calculator, I would press 1 0 0. However, the result that shows in the calculator is not 100, but just
0
, because it was the last number I pressed.
Example:

Are my mappings incorrect and causing this issue?
Using Key Codes to check what each key on the numpad does:
1 on the numpad, seems to provide two key down events:

Unicode: 63289 / 0xf739
