Enabling Mousekeys on Linux: To Move Mouse with Numpad

Why

You have a nice keyboard. And using the mouse hinders your workflow.

Installation

sudo aptitude install xkbset

Enable mousekeys

setxkbmap -optifon keypad:pointerkeys

Configure sensitivity

xkbset ma 60 10 10 5 2

Finally

Hit Cntrl+L-Shift+NumLock. You should now be able to move the mouse quite nicely with the numpad.

Tweaking/Setting Input Devices via Commandline

First list input devices

xinput list

List properties of an input device

xinput list-props 12

Change a specific input param

xinput set-prop 12 277 1

Left click is + button at the right of numpad.

I want to ask how to disable it.
I am using i3.
Nobody can tell me how to disable mousekey.
Shift+Numlock just dont work.

PS: setxkbmap -optifon keypad:pointerkeys
the option is typo

Thanks this is useful
