try on your machine
The command "numlockx toggle" is used to toggle the state of the NumLock key on a keyboard.
NumLock is a key on a computer keyboard that, when activated, allows the number pad on the right side of the keyboard to function as a numeric keypad. When NumLock is deactivated, those keys will function as arrow keys, Home, End, Delete, etc.
The "numlockx" command is a utility that allows you to control the state of the NumLock key. In this case, the "toggle" argument is specified, which means that the state of NumLock will be inverted, i.e., if it is currently on, it will be turned off, and if it is off, it will be turned on.
So, running the "numlockx toggle" command will simply switch the state of the NumLock key on your keyboard.
