We know that the input device mouse plays an important role in the working of a computer like in “Programming”, Graphics Designing”, “Word Pad Editor”, etc. But let us suppose your input device “Mouse” is not working in a proper form and you don’t have any other “Mouse”. So to solve this problem here are the steps:
Step 1
Firstly, press the “Shift + Alt + NumLock “ key button from the keyboard and then open a new pop-up window as in the following screenshot. Click the blue cored linked “Go to the Ease of Access Center to disable the keyboard shortcut”, After clicking this link a new window opens up in the background and finally press the yes button on the current window.
Step 2
After doing the first step we will go to the new window called “Set up Mouse key” as in the following screenshot,
Here we can see the pointer speed option “Top Speed “and “Acceleration”. Increase both the speed levels to "High” and press apply the OK button as in the following screenshot.
Step 3
After doing the second step repeat the first step like pressing “Shift + Alt + NumLock “ and then press the yes button again. After pressing yes, the keyboards “Numerics keys” functionality is converted to the mouse moving functionality.
NoteAlways remember after this step we cannot use the “numeric key” functionality.
Step 4
In this step, we are using the cursor moving functionality via keyboards “Numeric Keys”. Just follow the “0 to 9” key number as in the following screenshot.
“Numeric key” 4 works as left side movement, 5 right sides, 8 top sides, 2 downsides, 1 left down, 3 right down, 7 left top, 9 right top and 0 is used for an important task for complete window movement and also used for drag & drop. 6 is used to perform any click event similar to the left-click event.
Step 5
In this step, we will look at the working of all numeric keys. In this session, we are working on all functions under the active window but first set cursor pointer on the title bar of the active window via pressing “Key 0”.
“Key 4” moves the windows center direction to center-left direction as in the following screenshot.
“Key 6” moves the windows center direction to center-right direction as in the following screenshot.
“Key 2” moves the windows center direction to down direction as in the following screenshot.
“Key 8” moves the windows center direction to top direction as in the following screenshot.
“Key 1” moves the windows center direction to down left direction as in the following screenshot.
“Key 3” moves the center of the window directly to the downright direction as in the following screenshot.
“Key 7” moves the center of the window directly to the top-left direction as in the following screenshot.
“Key 9” moves the center of the window directly to the top-right direction as in the following screenshot.
“Key 5” is used for opening my computer, first set mouse cursor on
This PC icon and then press “Key 5” two times. After pressing two
times a new “
This PC“ window opens as in the following screenshot.
Summary
In this article we successfully learned how to change the keyboard “Numeric Keys” functionality to “Mouse Keys “functionality.
