Hi Gunnar

Have you tried mouse keys out? I found it made more sense when I tried it out. One of my laptops has a (real) numeric keypad, which was useful.

My take on mouse keys is that it simulates a pointing and clicking device with three buttons (eg a three-button mouse - but not necessarily a mouse - other pointing and clicking devices are available). The wikipedia page just uses the term button (without quotes), so I've copied that. Of course there is no physical button/buttons, so it could perhaps be termed a virtual button?

I'd say that the page needs to give the meaning/action of all the mouse keys. My examples just cover the main examples, they don't cover all the the mouse keys actions. Eg the examples don't cover all the navigation keys. Also - though this is a bit specialized - mouse keys provides three kinds of drag and drop and my examples only cover one kind (though I'm not sure if any applications distinguish between the different drags and drops). I've given the meaning/action of the keys using a table (adapting the table in the wikipedia page) but I think the info could be given a different way (eg in a diagram?).

Does the above make sense?
