Public bug reported:
Unlike in GNOME, in Ubuntu MATE (18.04.1) you cannot use the Num Lock
key as a mode switch for emulating the mouse-actions-using-the-keypad
function: "The mouse cannot be controlled with the keypad when Num Lock
is turned on, though." (https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help
/mouse-mousekeys.html.en)
In Ubuntu MATE if you activate the "Pointer can be controlled using the
keypad" function, then whether Num Lock is on or off doesn't matter, you
always stay in the mouse-with--the-keypad mode.
It would be very useful to implement the function of the Num Lock to
quickly switch keypad's mode of operation, especially if you also need
to type numbers.
