MouseKeys 1.0
=============
MouseKeys is a very small extension which allows you to move the cursor
around the screen using the arrow keys, and to click using the space bar.
I needed this for myself (to control some Macs where I may not always
have a mouse available), so I put it together very quickly and decided
others may find it useful.
I hope somebody can make use of it!
For detailed instructions visit the following web page:

The archive also includes a text file with the instructions, but here's
a trimmed down version to get you started...
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~
Drag the MouseKeys extensions into your Extensions folder and restart.
Using MouseKeys
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MouseKeys can be activated by pressing the control+option+command keys.
You should see a small black 'thing' appear in the top-left corner of your
main screen. You can now move the cursor using the arrow keys. Pressing
the space bar will act as if the mouse button has been pressed down. Press
the space bar again to 'let go' of the mouse button.
MouseKeys will automatically deactivate after five seconds if no key has
been pressed, or as soon as any key is pressed (apart from the arrow keys,
the space bar and the modifier keys: control, option, command, shift).
It can also be deactivated immediately by pressing the three modifier keys
(control+option+command) down together again.
Any problems, please check the web page above. If that doesn't help, then
