I am trying to find an utility that enables keypad on the keyboard on
the right for mouse movements.

I am not too comfortable in using separate keyboard and mouse. Hope somebody
can recall that utility something like DOSKEY but it is serving other
purpose.

Thanks.

Hi,

Do you mean that you are looking for something that is on a laptop where the keyboard and the mouse pad are close to each other.

If you are looking for the same thing in a desktop computer then you are out of luck.

i mean desktop pc. It is hard to believe that it is required both keyboard and mouse gadgets.
What if mouse is inoperable. Are you suggesting me to buy laptop?

Type mousekeys in help.

5 = Click
+ = Dbl Click
-, 5 = Right Click
-, + = Dbl Right Click
*, 5 = Both Button Click
*, + = Both Button Dbl Click
/ = Restore normal clicking
Ins (0) = Depress Left Mouse Button
Del (.) = Release Left Mouse Button

-, Ins (0) = Depress Right Mouse Button
Del (.) = Release Right Mouse Button (eg same as left button)

In Windows XP there is a "keyboard " that displays on the screen so that
the keys are selected by the mouse.

If a keyboard fails, laptops allow you to plug in a separate keyboard
either by PS2 port or USB.
 
good idea when pc keyboard fails, I will by laptop to use backup keyboard.
IT is because laptop has both keyboard and mouse intact. But activating
MOUSEKEYS on PC keyboard is cheaper, but I am not sure if it is as capable
as your suggestion. For example moving cursor from one place to another
distant location on display screen is not capable with one click or two with
mousekeys on PC keyboard, but it should be done easily on laptop. I have
never had a laptop, but I am sure somebody will agree with its capability.
 
His problem is using the mouse, not a broken keyboard ("I am not too
comfortable in using separate keyboard and mouse."); what he needs is how to
move the mouse pointer around using the keyboard, not how to use the mouse
as a keyboard. ("I am trying to find an utility that enables keypad on the
keyboard on the right for mouse movements.")

At this point I am not even too sure that he understood the suggestion that
someone else gave him about using a laptop. If he is not too comfortable
with moving a mouse around, unless a mousepad works for him, but sometimes
older people (and I am not saying he is one) among others who cannot control
too well their had movements can have a hard time dealing with either type
of mouse.

Telling him where to find keyboard shortcuts, such as Alt+Tab to change from
window to window, besides all the ones that David kindly furnished would
probably help him best. Unfortunately my memory does not allow me to
remember where to find these shortcuts. Also, if memory serves me correctly
on this one, there used to be a utility that would allow the mouse to scroll
off one edge of the screen and re-appear on the opposite edge, allowing him
to move "cursor from one place to another distant location on display
screen."
 
I did not know what happened to the original reply to your posting. It must have sent personally to you. This time I make sure that it is sent to this newsgroup.

Thank you for mousekeys!

It is responding, but I need practice. For example, when I am on Yahoo Page and want to get on AUTOS right next to AUCTIONS. I have not been able to succeed with mousekeys to get there and thenk click it(5=Click). But alternatively, I get there by hitting TAB keys in succession about twenty times before hit ENTER key on keyboard..Is there such typing 20 TAB instead of clicking manually 20 times.

At least it works on keyboard. I now have one wire less to be tangled with!

Type mousekeys in help.

+ = Dbl Click
-, 5 = Right Click
