In countries where we use the 1.423.321,23 â,¬ format, it's difficult to introduce small amounts of money with decimals since financier takes the the dot key at the numpad as a thousands separator instead of a decimal separator.

The dot key on the numpad always should relate the decimal separator and not a thousands separator.

Do all applications usually agree on mapping the numpad "." to "[insert decimal separator here]"? Do they also map "," to "[insert group separator here]"?

If so, I think it makes sense and I can do this. :)

Yes, they do.

Excel, Minitab, Access, etc. all they introduce the decimal separator, "," in my case, when pressing the numpad's dot.

You can test it by yourself changing your locales. ;)
