In a sense, yes. UKey does not directly modify the behaviour of the 
numeric keypad, but it allows applications to distinguish between main 
keyboard and keypad keys and EasiWriter uses that to offer some extra 
characters from the keypad. This is not UKey's fault but an EasiWriter 
feature (which you could switch off by modifying some EasiWriter 
resource files).
