System Information
Operating system: Windows 11 22H2
Laptop: Acer Nitro 5 AN517-55

Blender Version
Broken: 3.3.1

Short description of error
On laptop some buttons are missing like "Home", "End", "Page Up", "Page Down" and what they do on laptop is that you can access those button from numpad if you turn on numlock. But the problem is in Blender even after turning Num Lock it keeps acting like standart numpad and I can't access "Home", "End" etc.

The issue obviously is not critical but creates a little inconvenience.

Usually in all software I've used it works correctly - so I guess it could be fixed in Blender too. BUT Investigating this bug I've noticed that on [this]] key test website numlock works properly and on [ https:*en.key-test.ru/ | that one it doesn't work, just like in Blender.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
0. Get a laptop with additional keys on numlock.

Start Blender, disable numlock (you can also install Screencast Keys to make it more visible - https://github.com/nutti/Screencast-Keys)
Use numpad keys - they will be displayed like "Numpad 1", "Numpad 2" etc and they will rotate viewport.
Enable numlock and try to use numpad keys again - they still rotate viewport (and displayed like "Numpad 1" etc) when you expect them to act like "Home"/"End"/"Page Up", "Page Down"/ arrow keys.

This is how my laptop numpad looks like:
