The number pad doesn't work for me but the keyboard numbers do. I started to debug but was scared off by seeing all the gwt-* class names. ;-)

Oh, this is enough info to fix it, I think. Thanks. Numpad probably sends different keyCodes than keyboard numbers, and the (hacky) number field doesn't consider them numbers at all. I'll look into this soon.
