OK ... 

  Well, we must then SPLIT the terminology "number keys":

   I myself NEVER reach over to the right to that "number KEYPAD",
always keeping my fingers on those touch-typing "home keys",
and for numbers, just extending my fingers UP to those numbers
across the top row of "normal" keys.

For THOSE "number keys", no prefix-zero is needed, it seems.

At any rate, the DOCUMENTATION must DISTINGUISH these TWO
sets of number keys.
