Here\u2019s a list of what each numeric keypad key does in relation to performing clicks or dragging items.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The \u201c5\u201d Key:<\/strong> Pressing this performs the active click method (by default, left click), which is set by one of the keys listed below.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The \u201c\/\u201d Key:<\/strong> This sets the active click method to left-click.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The \u201c*\u201d Key:<\/strong> This sets the active click method to both left- and right-click at the same time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The \u201c-\u201d Key:<\/strong> This sets the active click method to right-click.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The \u201c0\u201d Key:<\/strong> Push this key to lock a left click in the \u201con\u201d position, which is useful for dragging items.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The \u201c.\u201d Key:<\/strong> Press this to release the click-and-drag lock that was set with the \u201c0\u201d key.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that the keys 2, 4, 6, and 8 control pointer movement in the four cardinal directions, and the 1, 3, 7 and 9 keys control diagonal pointer movement.<\/p>\n<p>When you combine them all together, you can perform any maneuver you\u2019d normally do with a mouse. For example, if you\u2019d like to click and drag an icon across your desktop, position the mouse cursor over it using the movement keys, then press \u201c0\u201d on the numeric keypad.<\/p>\n<p>When you press the movement keys again, you\u2019ll notice that you\u2019re dragging the icon as if the left mouse button is held down. To release it, press the \u201c.\u201d (period) key. If your movement is too slow, hold down Ctrl while pressing a movement key. With enough practice, using mouse keys becomes easier over time.
