yep I just went through the motions of figuring that out.
For reference to any one else who may have this problem and is reading this:
So I was able to dig up a fix. its slightly tedious but its better than waiting and being annoyed.
1) download F4SE here: http://f4se.silverlock.org/
2) extract the files in your fallout4 directory, which should be something like: OS(c:)/program files (x86)/steam/steamapps/common/fallout4
3) open up the "CustomControlMap" file. There you can edit all of the key maps but what you're looking for is going to be the quickkey option on the second row of the notepad document.
4) you then need to change the hexadecimal values of the quickkey options from the number row to the numberpad. the values are as following
1: 0x61
2: 0x62
3: 0x63
4: 0x64
5: 0x65
6: 0x66
7: 0x67
8: 0x68
9: 0x69
0: 0x60
5) now you need to save this document as "CustomControlMap" in the directory of /Fallout 4/Data/F4SE
If you don't have that directory then you need to create it.
6) launch the game using F4se.exe and you should be good to go.
