Accessing MouseKeys without the shortcut?
Accessing MouseKeys without the shortcut?
(OP)
Hi all. I'm quite stuck on this one! A friend of mine who's physically disabled bought a laptop (Compaq) and only realised afterwards that he can't use Mousekeys on it because in order to activate it he has to press the FN key and Sroll Lock.
However, he uses a mouth piece to press keys and so cannot hold more than one key down at a time. Sticky keys are out of the question since sticky keys don't apply to the FN key (and he needs the FN key to activate num lock).
Any ideas? I assume that the shortcuts point to a command to enable to disable this application. Therefore, can one write a command instead that could be double clicked or some other shortcut?

Shortcut is also Left-Alt key+Left-Shift key+Num Lock key

Another forum user here mentioned that FN has a stick function whereby the user can press FN and then press Num Lock separately but this doesn't seem to work :(

I did find some software for sale, but I couldn't vouch for anything.
I will post if I come accross any new information.
