+ <guiseq><gui>System</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Keyboard</gui></guiseq>
+ and select the <gui>Mouse Keys</gui> tab.

+ <p>
+ Check <gui>Pointer can be controlled using the keypad</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.
+</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. Most keyboards have a special key which
+allows you to right-click; it is often near to the spacebar.
+</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.
