History
Historically, MouseKeys supported GUI programs when many terminals had no dedicated pointing device. As pointing devices became ubiquitous, the use of mouse keys narrowed to situations where a pointing device was missing, unusable, or inconvenient. Such situations may arise from the following:
- precision requirements (e.g., technical drawing)
- disabled user or ergonomics issues
- environmental limits (e.g., vibration in car or plane)
- broken equipment
