Shortcuts for Mouse Keys
When Mouse Keys is turned on in Universal Access preferences, you can use the keyboard or the numeric keypad keys to move the mouse. If your computer doesn't have a numeric keypad, the U, I, O, J, K, L, and M keys may have numbers on them. Press the Fn key as you press these letter keys to use them as a numeric keypad. If your letter keys don't have numbers printed on them, use the table below to map the numeric keys to the keys on your keyboard.
