Adjusting Mouse and Pointer Responsiveness
If some users can’t use a mouse (or prefer not to), the Mouse Keys feature allows them
to use the numeric keypad instead. Keys on the numeric keypad correspond to
directions and mouse actions so the user can move the pointer and hold, release, or
click.
Note: If you enable Universal Access Shortcuts, a user can press the Option key five
times to turn Mouse Keys on or off.
If the pointer moves too quickly for some users, you can adjust how soon the pointer
begins to move and how fast it moves.
To control mouse and pointer settings:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Preferences.
2 Make sure the correct directory is selected and you are authenticated.
To switch directories, click the globe icon. If you are not authenticated, click the lock
and enter the name and password of a directory domain administrator.
3 Select one or more users, groups, computers, or computer groups.
4 Click Universal Access.
5 Click Mouse and then select a management setting.
6 To activate Mouse Keys, select Mouse Keys On.
7 To control how long it takes for the pointer to begin moving, adjust the Initial Delay
slider.
8 To control how fast the pointer moves, adjust the Maximum Speed slider.
9 Click Apply Now.
Enabling Universal Access Shortcuts
Universal Access Shortcuts are key combinations that activate an available access
feature, such as onscreen zooming or enabling Sticky Keys.
If you choose not to allow Universal Access shortcuts, users might not be able to use
features such as Zoom or turn off activated features such as Sticky Keys.
