Thank you Wayne for this fix; it works as intended.
Regarding the fact that I could not get the numpad '.' shortcut to work at all: I can now confirm that this is a regional keyboard issue. I tested the macro in our CT lab where the PC has an UK keyboard and there the shortcut works, but only with the control key down. Perhaps you should apply whatever change you did to get the numpad '/' and '*' keys to work to the numpad '.' as well, for consistency? I assume this problem will apply to US keyboard users as well. Or is there any other compatibility related reason you did not apply the fix to the numpad '.' key?

This is quite inconsistent behaviour. The numeric period does not work at all for me but that could be a keyboard issue since I am in Europe and the period key maps to comma by default here.
In the latest ImageJ daily build (1.51t19), function key and numeric keypad macro shortcuts should work as expected when "Require control key for shortcuts” is enabled. The numeric keypad period key problem is not fixed.
