[Software] Buster Gnome How to turn on and use Mouse keys

#1 Post by John99 »

Hi :) , Unsure whether to post this as a beginners Question or here. No doubt someone will move the post if necessary.

I am trying to get mouse keys to work. Temporarily for a session would be fine. I am able to get an icon on the top line with a drop-down giving an options list including a slider button for "Mouse Keys". That slides and toggles from a black and white "OFF" to a blue and white "ON"

I am expecting at this point Mouse Keys would become immediately active. For instance using NumPad key 8 the mouse pointer would move upwards.
I am trying this with Num Lk off. The Numlock LED works and is off when I attempt this.
Am I doing something wrong or overlooking a setting ?

I did glance at apparently related
Debian testing no more numpad in gnome 3.20.2 [solved]
Off Topic
unsure if that is how to link to another post I just treated it as an external iink
That person had the opposite problem s/he initially had Mouse Keys on inadvertently. I note they mention "accessibility option"
In my case I presume the equivalent is Settings > Universal Access

I am using a Laptop Computer with a built in trackpad rather than a separate mouse.
