Description Hans Deragon 2008-04-16 12:57:42 UTC 
In the "Mouse keys" tab, the option states "Allow to control the pointer using the keyboard".

I believe it would be more helpful if it stated "Allow to control the pointer using the numeric pad".  The keyboard might suggest the cursors or something else the user might have in mind.  Or on a laptop without an explicit numeric pad, it might not come to mind to the user to enable the numeric pad mapped over normal keys.
