180 Chapter 9 Managing Preferences
Adjusting Mouse and Pointer Responsiveness
If users have difficulties using a mouse or prefer not to use a mouse, 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 goes.
To control mouse and pointer settings:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Preferences.
2 Make sure the right directory is selected and that you are authenticated for it.
To switch directories, click the small globe above the accounts list. If you are not
authenticated, click the lock.
3 Select one or more users, groups, or computer lists.
4 Click Universal Access.
5 Click Mouse, then select a management setting (Once or Always).
6 Select On to activate Mouse Keys.
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.
