Thanks for the insight. Yes, it does indeed behave as you describe. Perhaps
the name/description of this function are misleading. When I read that it
toggled flat review mode, I thought this meant that it switched the numeric
keypad keys between flat review, and their ordinary functionality as
equivalent to the arrow keys, home/end/enter etc.

Does it have any effect besides routing the review cursor to the focus?
