I know there is an easy way to set up mouse emulation with the numpad in Xubuntu and Ubuntu. Is there an easy way to do so in lubuntu? is there a config file that can be edited, or does a program need to be installed?

          - Enable via conf file



          Create a file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-enable-pointerkeys.conf, with contents:




          Section "InputClass"
          Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
          MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
          Option "XkbOptions" "keypad:pointerkeys"
          EndSection


          - Enable for duration of session



          setxkbmap -option keypad:pointerkeys




          • In either case, Shift+Num-Lock will toggle mouse keys on/off.
