Hi, 

I was wondering if you could please provide two additional features to empulating mouse keys with numpad. 

Currently we can set features in KDE to emulate the mouse with the keyboard numeric pad keys. If you can add a feature to dynamically switch off and switch on the emulation that would be great. For e.g. in Win2k the checkbox 'The shortcut to enable mouse keys is - Left Alt+Left Shift+Num Lock'. Also, use mouse keys when the Numlock is On or Off. This makes it easy for people to turn it off temporarily by pressing numlock once, type in the numbers and switch it back on. 

The other feature and the more useful one will be to use Shift to slow down and Ctrl to step up the mouse key movements. So if I am on one end of the desktop I could press Ctrl and right arrow to reach to the other end of the desktop in 5 clicks rather than keep the right key pressed for 10 secs. 

I know I can increase the acceleration but that bugs me a lot when I am trying to get to a something which is moderately close to my current mouse location. The accelerator goes too fast if I choose that. 

Thanks.
