Hi Barry,

On the keyboard I have (not a cherry) once numlock is on the keys become the numeric keypad so you wouldn’t need the Fn+7 set of combinations just the ability to toggle numlock. However I haven’t tried this – the suggestions were ones that I used to use in the good old DOS days to overcome this problem…

Am I right in thinking that to use mousekeys the client would use numlock to switch it on & then I would need to set up the number keys as macros which send function+number?

 

The separate number pad doesn’t achieve our aim of trying to cut down the range of movement needed.  At the moment the client (CP teenager) drives her powered wheelchair left or right to move between typing & mousekeys on a standard keyboard, which isn’t a terrible solution in itself!

Barry,

 

You could try one of the following:

 

There are various software utilities around that will turn numlock on and off, you could try one of those utilities to toggle numlock on and off.

 

You could try a macro of  ASCII{144} normally the numlock key

 

You could try using a macro to capture fn+numlock and then play it back as a toggle.

Aah thank you.  Don’t suppose you know if sticky keys works on that function key?

Do you know which key combinations you use to get it working?

Cherry Compact Keyboard Model D91275 certainly does, although you have to hold down the Fn key to access the number keys which may obviously render it impractical for some users.

Dear all

Does the Cherry compact keyboard work with mousekeys?  I'm sure I should
know.  In the limited time I had with it, I got no response, but the
standard keyboard was OK.  Tried alt+ left shift+ numlock but no joy.
