How to bind the numpad keys with Autohotkey
Since so many people seem to have this issue I thought I'd just share what I have done to be able to use the numpad keys.

Go to http://autohotkey.com/docs/Tutorial.htm#s11 and do everything it says under a and b.

After you have created a script file you can copy and paste the bindings I am using (or bind everything to your own liking):

NumpadEnter::E ; Activate
Numpad0::R ; Ready/Reload
Numpad1::A ; Strafe Left
Numpad2::S ; Back
Numpad3::D ; Strafe Right
Numpad4::LCtrl ; Sneak
Numpad5::W ; Forward
Numpad6::Space ; Jump
Numpad7::Q ; VATS
Numpad8::3 ; Favourite 3
Numpad9::4 ; Favourite 4
NumpadSub::Tab ; Pip-Boy
NumpadAdd::M ; Map
NumpadDiv::1 ; Favourite 1
NumpadMult::2 ; Favourite 2
Up::X ; Auto-Move
Right::LShift ; Sprint
PgDn::F ; Favourites
XButton2::LAlt ; Bash/Power Attack/Grenade <- Mouse 5


Something that is annoying: Sprinting sometimes locks your movement to one direction until you press that specific directional key again.

The one thing that does not work for me: Shift as a modifier key (I do not know why), but you can still use WASD + Shift to move around and to switch between the different building options.

Thanks for this tip. It also fix the mouse binding (even if you invert the mouse buttons ingame to match your Windows inverted mouse, the V.A..T.S. and PipBoy still register the default mouse buttons.

Now the game is playable, we just need a HUD mod to display the new bindings.

No problem!

Cool to see other AHK users out there posting stuff. :)

I just posted a script that lets you switch inventory panes when transferring items using a keybind (it just moves the mouse to mouseover the pane you wanted).

Sad that we have to pull Bethesda's weight for yet another lazily ported console port lol.

You could try to bind sprint to a different button in the settings... if that doesn't work it might not be possible.
