[Conkeror] Emulating Mouse with Keyboard in X

[Aditya Siram]

The following might be useful to you when a mouse becomes necessary in Conkeror (for example, when a Google Video blocks Conkeror key-presses). 

Under X in Linux, Ctrl-Shift-Numlock turns your Numpad into a mouse pointer for a little while. Here is a excerpt from the "Mouse Under X" article (http://www.mandrivaclub.com/xwiki/bin/view/KB/XwinXmouse) with instructions:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Keyboard Mouse

X comes with a keyboard mouse, activated by pressing CTRL-SHIFT-NUMLOCK. Now the keypad will emulate mouse actions:

    * : moves mouse pointer upward
    * : moves pointer to the left
    * : moves pointer to the right
    * : moves pointer downward
    * : emulates pressing mouse button 1
    * <->: changes the emulated mouse button
    * : enters 'click and hold' mode (e.g. for drag and drop)
    * : emulates a double-click

The emulated movement is very slow, but you can increase its speed considerably by pressing any other key while moving. This takes some exercise, though… Note that this features times out after a while, so you might have to press CTRL-SHIFT-NUMLOCK again to reactivate it.
