[nvda] Re: tips on useing the mouse emulator program

A mouse emulator program "emulates" a mouse, i.e. it tries to give you mouse functionality even though there is no actual mouse attached. ( It makes the computer believe there is a mouse. Windows xp - and I assume newer versions of windows also) have their own native mouse emulation though i never got that to work. Also both jaws and window eyes provide mouse emulation. For example, wen you move the jaws cursor in jaws, it pretends to be a mouse and you can actually execute mouse movements and mouse clicks with that.
nvda at the present time does not provide mouse emulation, which is why I guess Josh tried to find a mouse emulator program to work with nvda.
All mouse emulators I know, whether part of a screenreader program or independent utilities, use the numberpad to emulate mouse movements, that is they use the keys on the numpad to move around the mouse cursor and to perform mouse click functionality.

Hi,

Ok here are some tips for useing the mouse emulator i found.
1. you have to have numlock on in order to use it.
2. if you have a laptop you can use the fn key or buy a USB numberpad.
3. turn off character echo when moveing the mouse.
I really wish I could contact the author of this program.
