  Try xkb MouseKeys. Alt+Shift+Num_Lock is normally the default hotkeys to
enable and disable it.

  Some useful hotkeys are KP_Divide selects button1, KP_Multiply button2,
and KP_Minus button3. KP_Plus is double click, KP_Ins press the button
and KP_Del releases it. KP_5 keeps the button pressed until you release
the keyboard.
