I’ve used EQMOD for 5 years now but only with my planetarium Stellarium
Your probably the first person I’ve come across who uses the eqmod keypad to navigate
Unless someone replies soon your best bet is to send a post on the EQMOD forum below ( you may have to join the group though but most folk are obliging and maybe even Chris Shilito one of the later developers may answer your query

In addition have you reviewed the EQMOD site for keypad info etc...
Cheers
