<desc>Enable mouse keys to control the mouse with the numeric
keypad.</desc>
</info>
<title>Click and move mouse pointer using the keypad</title>
<p>If you have difficulties using a mouse or other pointing device, you can
control the mouse pointer using the numeric keypad on your keyboard. This
feature is called <em>mouse keys</em>.</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
start typing <gui>Universal Access</gui>.</p>
<p>You can access the <gui>Activities</gui> overview by pressing on it,
by moving your mouse pointer against the top-left corner of the screen,
using <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>Alt</key><key>Tab</key></keyseq>
followed by <key>Enter</key> or using
<key xref="keyboard-key-super">Super</key>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click on <gui>Universal Access</gui> to open the panel.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Use the up and down arrow keys to select <gui>Mouse Keys</gui> in the
<gui>Pointing & Clicking</gui> section then press <key>Enter</key> to
switch <gui>Mouse Keys</gui> to <gui>On</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Make sure that <key>Num Lock</key> is turned off. You will now be able
to move the mouse pointer using the keypad.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>The keypad is a set of numerical buttons on your keyboard, usually
arranged into a square grid. If you have a keyboard without a keypad (such as
a laptop keyboard), you may need to hold down the function (<key>Fn</key>)
key and use certain other keys on your keyboard as a keypad. If you use this
feature often on a laptop, you can purchase external USB or Bluetooth numeric
keypads.</p>
<p>Each number on the keypad corresponds to a direction. For example,
pressing <key>8</key> will move the pointer upwards and pressing
<key>2</key> will move it downwards. Press the <key>5</key> key to click once
with the mouse, or quickly press it twice to double-click.</p>
<p>Most keyboards have a special key which allows you to right-click,
sometimes called the <key xref="keyboard-key-menu">Menu</key> key. Note,
however, that this key responds to where your keyboard focus is, not where
your mouse pointer is. See <link xref="a11y-right-click"/> for information on
how to right-click by holding down <key>5</key> or the left mouse button.</p>
<p>If you want to use the keypad to type numbers while mouse keys is enabled,
turn <key>Num Lock</key> on. The mouse cannot be controlled with the keypad
when <key>Num Lock</key> is turned on, though.</p>
<note>
<p>The normal number keys, in a line at the top of the keyboard, will not
control the mouse pointer. Only the keypad number keys can be used.</p>
