Here is my solution: a combination of the working ones below.

var checkInput = function(e) {
        if (!e) {
            e = window.event;
        }

        var code = e.keyCode || e.which;

        if (!e.ctrlKey) {

            //46, 8, 9, 27, 13 = backspace, delete, tab, escape, and enter
            if (code == 8 || code == 13 || code == 9 || code == 27 || code == 46)
                return true;
            //35..39 - home, end, left, right
            if (code >= 35 && code <= 39)
                return true;
            //numpad numbers
            if (code >= 96 && code <= 105)
                return true;
            //keyboard numbers
            if (isNaN(parseInt(String.fromCharCode(code), 10))) {
                e.preventDefault();
                return false;
            }
        }
        return true;
    };
