X and Fluxbox :: How can I use my keyboard to move the mouse ?
The window manager you use has no influence over an application's keyboard use (other than deciding which events get passed on). Some programs, such as Firefox, simply suck when it comes to keyboard control, and there's not much you can do about that other than the original idea of controlling the mouse cursor with keyboard.mikshaw: The WM doesn't SUPPOSE to have anything to do with such things, unfortunately, RatPoison's ICCCM non-compliance is originated partly from exactly that - messing with the keyboard...
MDG: Xkbset does seem right but I haven't tested it yet...
Is Xkbset present in DSL, is in need to be compiled, or download ? I will need to setup a DevEnv for 2.4 kernel and will need some headers and stuff :-(, Maybe some kind soul care to try compiling the thing ?I haven't found Xkbset in XFree86.dsl nor in xf86config.dsl, and with no DevEnv I won't be compiling it...
I also am looking for some other solutions that are not code dependent (it should be a config that resides in XF86Config-4 +/- something), Any thoughts ?Alt-Shift-Numlock.
It is an X shortcut to enable mousekeys. I haven't tried in DSL. See if it works.

No, it doesn't, mousekeys is part of Xkb and must be enabled in XF86Config-4, the question is how ?
