There is a slight drawback that I have found in having Mouse keys in the background when Num pad commander is on. It appears that num pad commander does not retain command of the 5 key. You will therefore lose focus when you think you are using 5 to deliver the of vo space you will in fact be delivering a mouse click.
The only way around this I have found is to turn mouse keys off BY pressing the option key 5 times until VO announces mouse keys off. Then you can recommence num pad commander as normal. Still usable, but not so convenient.
