A virtual numpad via a modifier key can be the best of both worlds; no extra space is used and your hands stay in the center. Example with image: https://andre

  In my limited beginner experience (rarely use numpads, mostly in Blender, or virtual numpads), it's awkward to turn virtual numpads on and off, I keep forgetting which state the keyboard is in, and it's hard to read the grayed-out key labels to figure out which normal key maps to the numpad key I want.

  Sort of. But it's not ortholinear like most numpads and lacks the addition keys like a big Enter key, and the various math operations. It's an impoverished numpad that requires different muscle memory that you probably don't use often enough to master. Personally I never use the virtual numpad on my devices, I use the full numpad if available or I usr the top row of number keys.
