           Summary: mouse keys emulation with Shift and Ctrl keys
           Product: kcontrol
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Mandrake RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kcmaccessibility
        AssignedTo: pupeno@kde.org
        ReportedBy: navmishti@yahoo.com


Version:           Mandrake 9.1 (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
Compiler:          gcc in Mdk9.1 
OS:          Linux

Hi, 

I was wondering if you could please provide two additional features to empulating \
mouse keys with numpad. 

Currently we can set features in KDE to emulate the mouse with the keyboard numeric \
pad keys. If you can add a feature to dynamically switch off and switch on the \
emulation that would be great. For e.g. in Win2k the checkbox 'The shortcut to enable \
mouse keys is - Left Alt+Left Shift+Num Lock'. Also, use mouse keys when the Numlock \
is On or Off. This makes it easy for people to turn it off temporarily by pressing \
numlock once, type in the numbers and switch it back on. 

The other feature and the more useful one will be to use Shift to slow down and Ctrl \
to step up the mouse key movements. So if I am on one end of the desktop I could \
press Ctrl and right arrow to reach to the other end of the desktop in 5 clicks \
rather than keep the right key pressed for 10 secs. 

I know I can increase the acceleration but that bugs me a lot when I am trying to get \
to a something which is moderately close to my current mouse location. The \
accelerator goes too fast if I choose that. 

Thanks.

Navin
