Control+the+Cursor+without+a+Mouse


 * Control the Cursor without a Mouse **

If your mouse goes walk about you have a problem, and you will spend hours trying to remember the keyboard shortcuts

Windows does have a facility to use on a keyboard that allows you to move the pointer in the absence of a mouse.

To enable this feature:

Go to ** Control Panel **. > ** Accessibility ** > ** Mouse **.

Place a Tick/check in the box of ** Use Mouse Key **.



Click ** OK ** to close the Accessibility Options window.


 * Note: ** You can also press ** Left Alt key ** + ** Left Shift Key ** + ** Num Lock ** together to open the MouseKeys dialogue box. Then press ** Enter ** to keep MouseKeys ** ON **. Press ** Cancel ** to keep MouseKeys ** OFF **.



We can also see a small mouse icon on the task bar (when the MouseKeys option is enabled).

Also, make sure your ** Num Lock ** key is ** ON **. We can use the numeric pad (the number pad on the right hand side of your keyboard) as MouseKeys, but only if the Num Lock is ** ON **.

So, now you may be wondering which keys you can use to actually move the mouse pointer, right?

Okay, well, we have enabled the MouseKeys feature and have also made sure that the Num Lock is ON. So, now on the numeric keypad, you are going to use the keys:


 * 2 = Down **
 * 4 = ** ** Left **,
 * 6 = Right **
 * 8 = **** Up **.


 * 5 = left click **


 * minus = right click **


 * plus ** = ** double click ** (left)

To ** increase the speed of the pointer movement **, double click the mouse icon on the taskbar and select the ** Settings ** button from the dialogue box. Now you can increase the speed of the pointer by selecting the ** Pointer Speed ** option.



Also, Click to check the box that says, "** Hold down Ctrl to speed up and Shift to slow down **." Now, if you press the ** Ctrl ** key while holding the arrow key, the pointer speed will increase and if you hold the ** Shift ** key while holding the arrow key, the pointer speed will decrease.

If you want to use the numbers from the numeric keypad while using the MouseKeys, select the ** OFF ** radio button from ** Use MouseKeys ** when ** Num Lock ** is the option. If you select ** ON ** again, the numeric keypad will be used as ** MouseKeys **.
