I have a Spanish layout keyboard (in Snow Leopard). Whenever I use the dot, or comma, in the numeric keyboad (right of the 0) it always shows a comma, but I'd prefer if it entered a dot, just like PCs do. Otherways, entering IP addresses, or decimal numbers when coding is a PITA. How can I do that?
I have tried altering my regional settings so that the decimal separator is a point and the thousands separator is a comma, but that doesn't seem to affect text entry.
I'd prefer changing some regional setting rather than remapping the keyboard, but I'll accept any answer that works – short of changing the regional layout of the keyboard, I really need my diacritics there.

In macOS Sierra, you have to Ctrl+Shift+, in numeric pad to obtain a regular dot.
Found this trying to do the same as everyone else and discovered it was different now.
Hope this helps.
UPDATE: in macOS Mojave, you can also use Ctrl+Alt+, in numeric pad to obtain a regular dot. I found some apps (I'm looking at you Slack) don't allow the original answer, but do the update.
