The command "numlockx on" is used to enable the Num Lock key on your keyboard.
Num Lock is a key on the numeric keypad of your keyboard, usually located on the right side. When Num Lock is enabled, the numeric keypad functions as a calculator or input device for numbers, rather than controlling the cursor movement.
However, in some cases, the Num Lock may be turned off by default when you start your computer or log in. Using the "numlockx on" command, you can ensure that Num Lock is always enabled when you start your computer or log in.
This command is typically used in a Linux or Unix-based operating system. By executing "numlockx on" in a terminal or script, the operating system will turn on the Num Lock key, ensuring that the numeric keypad functions properly.
