disagree  Armorel Young: The reference on that (German) site is to a Tens (proper name) keyboard - there is nothing in that ref. to link it to a Zehnertastatur.

disagree  David Willett: Your 'reference' is an awful translation! // Well, maybe not awful, but not very good.

numeric keypad


Explanation:
It is the part of the keyboard located usually on your right, which comprises a set of 10 numeric keys and mathematical operator keys. The links I included confirm - and illustrate! - what I mean in both German and English.

Explanation:
So verstehe ich das zumindest, also die Nummerntasten rechts neben den Standardtasten. Und das passt auch zu den erwähnten Shortcuts, denn einige funktionieren NICHT auf den "normalen" Tasten.
