Remapping internal numpad back to original keys

I have an ergonomic keyboard that have a laptop-style numpad (when numlock is "on" - "m" is remapped to "NUM0", "j"->"NUM1", "k"->"NUM2" etc.). Recently I've bought an external numpad but when I turn num lock "on" on it - it's automatically turned "on" on keyboard, remapping "m,j,k,..." to "NUM0, NUM1,NUM2,..." and I couldn't find a way to separate num lock between keyboard and external num pad..
When num lock is "on" - HID Macros helped in remapping keys back, so that NUM keys from keyboard will be mapped back to original keys, but when I try to use combination - it still behaves as it was a num pad key (e.g. NUM0 from kbd1 is mapped back to "m", but Shift+NUM0 behaves as "Insert" and not as "M").
Am I missing something in documentation or this topic should be moved to "Feature requests" section?
Thanks a lot!

HidMacros never supported key combinations on input as it's against its main idea. It's here to remove need of key combinations.
I understand it would help you to solve the issue with external numpad and your original keyboard but it's not typical usage.
