GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 766186
Mouse Keys cannot be enabled via keyboard
Last modified: 2016-09-29 19:19:35 UTC
I've been trying to enable Mouse Keys using only the keyboard, and got as far as opening "Universal Access" and focusing the whole "Mouse Keys" row, but can't figure out how to toggle the ON/OFF switch: * Tab won't focus the switch, only whole rows * arrow keys won't move the switch, only move focus across rows * Space, Enter, [+]/[-] have no effect * Ctrl+Shift+? does not list any shortcuts for this situation So far looks like I need to use a mouse to enable Mouse Keys? gnome-control-center 3.20.1 gtk+ 3.20.3 /* Related: In "Mouse & Touchpad", the whole "Touchpad" section doesn't seem to be reachable via keyboard at all. But I guess that's less important since these options would be useless without a touchpad anyway, while with Mouse Keys it's the opposite. */
Created attachment 327563 [details] [review] universal-access: allow focus on row switches This allows the browsing of the list entries with the keyboard, enabling the user to use the keyboard to toggle, for instance, Mouse Keys.

We can already browse list entries, it's the switches we can't navigate to.

(In reply to Felipe Borges from comment #10) > Attachment 327586 [details] pushed as 0ac120b - mouse: allow focus on > switches in the Touchpad section It would be nice to get this into the stable branch, it's still broken in 3.20.1
Cherry-picked there. We'll do a release in a little while.
