How to emulate NumPad on TKL keyboard with END, Insert, etc.?

I wanna buy a TKL keyboard for space, however the NumPad keys are still much faster to type numbers then the inline ones.

The combination PrintScr, Insert, Delete, Home, etc. could be used to emulate the NumPad. How can I achieve it? Or maybe UIO-JKL-NM,?

AutoHotkey can be used to reassign keys

Install Autohotkey then save the following as hotkeys.ahk and double click to run it:

Del::1 End::2 PgDn::3 Ins::4 Home::5 PgUp::6 PrintScreen::7 ScrollLock::8 Pause::9 

_{I've not actually tried this, but I believe it should work. I will try it when I am at my machine which has AHK installed}

This will put a little icon in your taskbar next to your clock which, when you want to use those keys normally, can be right-clicked and either Suspend or exit'ed
