Is there a way to number lock the keyboard to stop this happening?
No
it may be a consideration for a future update.

May 19, 2012 3:34 PM in response to wayjenby modular747,There is no "?123" key. There is a "123" key which does NOT lock the numeric keyboard when "pressed for a few seconds." Jailbroken, eh?

May 19, 2012 5:29 PM in response to modular747by wayjen,I am referring to the iPad and on the iPhone it is the 123 key on the bottom left hand corner of the keyboard. And no it's not a jail broken phone. Just press for a second and it will work

May 19, 2012 5:30 PM in response to wayjenby stedman1,Nope. It does not lock in number mode when you enter numbers followed by a space.

That's exactly what I'm referring to (you originally referred to it as "?123" key). Pressing it for several seconds has no "locking" effect as you claimed. -
May 19, 2012 6:44 PM in response to modular747by wayjen,It works on mine ☺ are you using iOS 5.1.1 and in settings,general,keyboard are all the options ie enable caps lock, switched to on?

May 19, 2012 7:06 PM in response to wayjenby Soto,That does not work at all. I have an iPad with 5.1.1 and there is no such locking feature as you described.
as soon as you press space it reverts back to letters. the ONLY time it doesnt revert back is when you are filling out certain fields on a website that require only numbers, such as a telephone field or zip code.

Sep 23, 2013 6:31 PM in response to michael-field@talktalk.netby Wasely,★HelpfulTry this:
When entering numbers from the numbers keyboard, and you wish to insert a space, simply press the ABC key, and SLIDE your finger onto the space bar. When you lift your finger, a space will have been inserted, and you will remain in the numerical keyboard.
