Issue maybe something different. I have found a possible solution
that works,
on an older version of fedora.
On an older system, I had compiled the nedit, and pressing the numeric keys
was actually moving the mouse pointer and not giving the keys?
I found this would solve the problem.
From the menu, use
System > Preferences > Keyboard
On the tab titled "Mouse Keys" there is a check box to toggle "Pointer can
be
controlled using the keypad" .
You can disable this behaviour there.
Afterwards, the number keys would work just fine.
Of course, the options are different under Fedora 26. I believe it is now
under settings and Univeral Access, and called Mouse Keys.
Only have a notebook at home with Fedora 26, but it doesn't have a separate
numeric keypad so having not test it? But think it is the system trying to give
mouse controls via the keypad keys instead of having it act as a number pad.
If I had mouse pointer in nedit window, you could see it moving based on the
keys being pressed.
Sorry, but after a reboot (and the last update!), again, the numeric pad does not work
with nedit,
what ever is the value of mouse key.
