EDIT: that's for console (TTY) screens.

If you mean for a display manager login see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/LightD … by_default (for LightDM, other display managers will have similar options for startup scripts and commands).

Check your bios options, sometimes there is an option to set numlock at boot.

Hello All,

is there a way to get NumLock activated before Login?
So it is ready to use for Login Credentials?
