Mousekeys

Hey all,

Here is a guide about Mousekeys;  what they are, how to activate them, how to use them and how you can benefit from them.

So what are Mousekeys?

Mousekeys is a function which allows you to control your mouse by using your numpad. They’re 100% legal and they come with every version of Windows and Mac.


How do I activate my Mousekeys?

For Windows go to:
1) Start Menu
2) Control Panel
3) Accessibility Options/Ease of access
4) Click the Mouse Tab
5) Click Mousekeys

For Mac:

1) Open System Preferences
2) Go to System
3) Univeral Access
4) Mouse and Trackpad
5) Mouse Keys On

This is how your settings should look like:

How do I use my Mousekeys?

You can control Mousekeys with the numerical numpad section of your keyboard.

Fuctions of your numpad buttons when Mousekeys are activated:
NumLock = Enable/Disable Mousekeys
Enter = Enter
/  button = Select primary button (left click)
* button = Select modifier button (right click)
- button = Select alternate button (right click)
+ button = Double click
.  button = Release selected button
0 button = Depress selected button
1 button = Moves your cursor in a  south-west direction
2 button = Moves your cursor in a  south direction
3 button = Moves your cursor in a  south-east direction
4 button = Moves your cursor in a  west direction
5 button = Single right/left click
6 button = Moves your cursor in a  east  direction
7 button = Moves your cursor in a  north-west direction
8 button = Moves your cursor in a  north direction
9 button = Moves your cursor in a  north-east direction


How can Mousekeys benefit me with War of Legends?

For example when having to assign lots of potential points to a legend.
When holding  down the 5 button and + button at the same time you can spam click.
This way it will only take a few seconds to assign all those points, instead of having to manual click all those points one by one.

I personally find it pretty relaxing to just use the 5 button for single clicks instead of your mouse button. Especially since your cursor will remain at the exact same position on you screen and you can’t accidently miss click.

Perhaps you can find more situations for yourself to benefit of the use of Mousekeys.


Yours sincerely,

Eva
