enable entering number key when deleteKey='D' is pressed

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

Please help! i want to be able to enter number keys when deleteKey=‘D’ is pressed.

#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>
#include <Keypad.h>
#include <EEPROM.h>


template <class T> int EEPROM_writeAnything(int ee, const T& value)
{
  const byte* p = (const byte*)(const void*)&value;
  int i;
  for (i = 0; i < sizeof(value); i++)
  EEPROM.update(ee++, *p++);
  return i;
}

template <class T> int EEPROM_readAnything(int ee, T& value)
{
  byte* p = (byte*)(void*)&value;
  int i;
  for (i = 0; i < sizeof(value); i++)
  *p++ = EEPROM.read(ee++);
  return i;
}

// KEYPAD
const byte numRows = 4;
const byte numCols = 4;
byte rowPins[numRows] = {5,4,3,2};
byte colPins[numCols] = {9,8,7,6};
char keys[numRows][numCols] =
{
  { '1', '2', '3', 'A' },
  { '4', '5', '6', 'B' },
  { '7', '8', '9', 'C' },
  { '*', '0', '#', 'D' }
};

//KEYPAD
Keypad myKeypad = Keypad(makeKeymap(keys), rowPins, colPins, numRows, numCols);

// LCD
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x3F, 2, 1, 0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 3, POSITIVE);  // Set the LCD I2C address
//0x27 for red i2c, 0x3F for black I2c
