How to disable that SHIFT toggles numpad keys?

By default In Ubuntu I can perform SHIFT+HOME to select content from caret to start of string, while NUMLOCK is turned off. But if in that case I press just HOME, it will type 1 instead of moving caret to start of string, and this is expected behavior considering that NUMLOCK is off. To use HOME I will need to turn on NUMLOCK.

So - how can I change it to Microsoft-defaults, when perform SHIFT+HOME and HOME doesnt need changing state of NUMLOCK?

Ive already discovered this solution:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/57079/xu … ke-windows

But it does not help. My /etc/default/keyboard file looks now:

# Check /usr/share/doc/keyboard-configuration/README.Debian for
# documentation on what to do after having modified this file.
# The following variables describe your keyboard and can have the same
# values as the XkbModel, XkbLayout, XkbVariant and XkbOptions options
# in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS="numpad:microsoft"

# If you don't want to use the XKB layout on the console, you can
# specify an alternative keymap.  Make sure it will be accessible
# before /usr is mounted.
# KMAP=/etc/console-setup/defkeymap.kmap.gz
