It looks like "+" is click & release, "0" is click, and "5" is
release. Thus "++"   gets you a double click, etc.

What might be messing you up is that the keys "/", "*", and "-" seem
to switch the click mode between left, middle, and right respectively.
So if you press -, the + key sends a right click. * switches to middle
click mode, and / back to left click.

If you were poking around with those keys, you may be in an unexpected mode.
