Message 1 in thread
Hi All,
Is there any way to use the arrows on the keyboard to control the mouse
cursor?
Thanks in advance,
Claudenê Correia

you can use
void QCursor::setPos(int x, int y) [static]
to set the position. to move it with the keyboard, override
keyPressEvent() in your widget and move the cursor accordingly.

Yes there is.
You have to press Ctrl-Shift-NumLock and then you can move around with
the keypad/keyboard.

It doesn't work on my Linux machine either. I wasn't aware of the
existence of such functionality in XFree86.

It may well be more of a desktop environment setting. Which one do you use?
(and which version)

Cornelius's shortcut was "Ctrl-Shift-NumLock".
I suspect that there is no, consistent method here.
