Manipulating map via keyboard not working?

[Reverie (OP)]

Hi! Nice to make your acquaintances.       
I'm new to the game (just started yesterday), and I was wondering why '+' and '-', as well as the arrow keys (or WASD for that matter) weren't working to move around the map display.  I am on a Macbook Pro, natively running Windows 7 and using AcidWeb's v.  6. 30 portable launcher utility.  I apologise in advance if the answer is obvious or is explained elsewhere, but I have honestly looked and could not find a solution anywhere.

Most likely because Steve didn't code that support in would be my guess.

That could be it. . . but in Alfipiomega's Let's Play series, he moves the map around clearly irrespective of the cursor (which sits unused while he does it).

The Keypad keys on a standard desktop keyboard can move and zoom the map.

So essentially, only computers with keypads have this luxury? This is a bit disappointing, considering each of those keys are redundant and shouldn't necessarily require a keypad to use effectively

Every laptop I've seen has a way to send those keys, by holding one key and pressing another.

Unfortunately, I have one of the newer Macbooks that removed the embedded numpad functionality.   Regardless, I'll find some solution somewhere that doesn't involve on-screen keyboards.   Thanks kindly for the help ^^

I've found a solution with the help of third party hotkey software
