Mouse Key is an accessibility feature that allows you to use the numeric keyboard instead of the mouse. You can find the feature under the accessibility category; in windows system the category is called "Ease of Access". Many GUI systems allows you to open a system menu by pressing +, and then navigate using the tab key and the arrows to find what you need. Now, learning how to use the numeric keyboard is pretty easy: * The keys '2','4','6' and '8' have arrows on them. * The keys '1','3','7','9' are in the corners, so they are used for diagonal movements. * The key '/','*' and '-' are used to select the mouse key to click or depress. Find their mouse equivalents according to their places in the top row. * The key '5' - single click the selected key. It is useful to mark texts for copying and drag scrollbars. * The key '0' - depress (or hold down) the selected key. * The key '+' - double-click the selected key. * The key '.' - to release the depressed key.
