Setting up mousekeys

[Kimberly]

I've gone into Accessibility, Toggled mousekeys on, made sure numpad was on, had "Hold down Ctrl to speed up and Shift to slow down" on, had speeds relatively high.

 

I went to the upper left corner of the item, right clicked, and then hit ctrl+2. But the mouse doesn't move at all. Am I not entirely getting how this works? It's highly likely lol. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Edit: this laptop doesn't have a numberpad, unfortunately. Does that mean I can't use mousekeys?

[Ellac]

If I understand correctly, you need a number pad to use mousekeys.

[Kimberly]

If I understand correctly, you need a number pad to use mousekeys.

 

 

Thank you.

 

Is there any alternatives other than buying a USB number pad?

Buying a computer with a number pad is the only one I know of.

Ahk.

 

There's an example script that comes with it that simulates mousekeys. You can just change the hotkeys to whatever suits you.

|    This script is an example of use of AutoHotkey. It uses |
| the remapping of numpad keys of a keyboard to transform it |
| into a mouse. Some features are the acceleration which     |
| enables you to increase the mouse movement when holding    |
| a key for a long time, and the rotation which makes the    |
| numpad mouse to "turn". I.e. NumPadDown as NumPadUp        |
| and vice-versa. See the list of keys used below:           |

Ahk.

 

There's an example script that comes with it that simulates mousekeys. You can just change the hotkeys to whatever suits you.

 

 

Thank you. I guess there's no way around it, gotta dust the cobwebs out of my head and give that a go.

If I understand correctly, you need a number pad to use mousekeys.

 

Is there any alternatives other than buying a USB number pad?

My laptop doesn't have a number pad, but the letters uio shows 456, jkl shows 123 in the top right hand corner. I can get the numbers to show up if I press the Scroll lock button.

Good point, I forgot about that. If I used Shortkeys/AHK to hit the function key and ctrl at the same time to simulate having a number pad, would that strictly be against the rules? It sure would save my hand from stretching all over the keyboard just to utilize that feature.

I believe it's perfectly allowed to remap the FN key (which is what my laptop uses for numpad). You could also put a stack of coins or something on top (that's what I do).

That is wonderful news. Thank you very much.

Don't take my word on it completely, I don't claim to fully understand how AHK works, but I don't believe that would be against the rules. As long as one button press doesn't cause more than one action, you're golden.

I think pressing fn + simulated numpad key counts as two keys for one action :P.
