<title>Use the keyboard to control the mouse pointer</title>
<steps>
<item>
<p>
Click
<guiseq><gui>System</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Keyboard</gui></guiseq>
and select the <gui>Mouse Keys</gui> tab.
</p>
</item>

<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.
