I actually was thinking about a way for making this add-on or
whatever it may be.
I have concluded that if an add-on can keep an eye on the user's
keyboard and commands they type, it's just a matter of, if it's
on, each time such user press a valid key to perform any NVDA
action, it would add the NVDA key to the command.
I don't know if it's possible nor if it's easy as I just
described, though, as I'm not a developer. But that's my two cents
:)

I didn't mean the enter key on the number pad, I meant the
enter key on the main keyboard, but regardless, it was just a
suggestion, any key combination will do.

It really wouldn't be that difficult for the
developers to add a simple toggle (maybe something
like nvda-enter), that would simply act like the nvda
key was down no matter what other key you hit. If I
can find this numlock add-on, perhaps I'll hack that
to do this myself. I'm an experienced programmer, but
python is not my language of choice, and NVDA
specifically is not a program to which I have
familarized myself with it's source code, so having
samples of something to see how it's done would make
creating a different add-on to toggle the nvda key
into always on mode wouldn't be that hard at that
point, but this is something one of the regular NVDA
developers would have little trouble completing.
Perhaps an enhancement request should be submitted,
and someone could add it as time permits.

How would you lock it, however, without using
sticky keys in general? Using sticky keys, you can
lock it as you can any sticky key but my
understanding is that the desire is to have only
that key be locked.
NVDA, if you press the modifier twice, passes the
second command to Windows, so if you press insert
twice, you have pressed it once, as far as Windows
is concerned. If you press caps lock twice, you
lock or unlock caps lock because you have actually
passed the keystroke to Windows once. So some other
means of locking the key would be wanted because you
wouldn't want to lose that ability.

Locking the NVDA key is most certainly possible, it
has nothing to do
with whether it's a microsoft program or another one,
it's just a matter
of keyboard interception, which is something NVDA
already does.
