This bug report obviously refers to changing a setting in the version of GNOME in use at the time this bug report was raised.
In a much more up-to-date version of gnome-control-center I see a switch that has to be moved in 'Settings | Accessibility | Pointing and Clicking' in order to enable 'Mouse Keys'. So not an easy option to turn on. Does this bug report have any relevance in any currently supported release of Ubuntu bearing in mind that over 13 years have elapsed since it was raised? ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Changed in: gnome-control-center Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: vino Importance: Medium => Undecided ** Changed in: vino Remote watch: GNOME Bug Tracker #530993 => None ** Changed in: vino Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: xorg-server Importance: Medium => Undecided ** Changed in: xorg-server Status: Invalid => New ** Changed in: xorg-server Remote watch: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #15133 => None ** Changed in: xorg-server Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192508 Title: mouse keys too easy to accidently turn on To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/192508/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
