How to do number-pad actions like: "Number-Pad ." to zoom into an object

Question

I use a Mac and the Blender emulator doesn't do those kind of actions, my computer doesn’t have a number-pad function and number lock doesn't perform any number-pad actions. What keys can a Mac user use to do number-pad actions?

Answer 1

In User Preferences, under Input, there is an option to emulate the Numpad (makes regular numbers function as numpad numbers). You can then zoom using the regular + and - keys as well.
