Hi,

Lion has made a couple of changes to the Universal Access Mouse Keys, BUT...

You can no longer double click with the 5 key...

This is a HUGE problem for users reliant on this to counter RSI problems.

To reproduce:

In Universal Access, toggle Mouse Keys to 'On'. Open a text document, hover the cursor over a word, and double click using the number pad 5 key.

Prior to Lion this selected the word. In Lion this is no longer happens.

I am using an Apple keyboard with number pad and a MacBookPro.

Please re-instate this functionality.

Regards,

Rob.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

I've noticed this too, it's a critical bug for people who use Mouse Keys. You should file a bug report.

I notice the same behavior in Mountain Lion 10.8.2. Is there some other way to double click using the keyboard?

This was fixed in 10.7.2 or 3 from memory, but returned in 10.8 and remains in 10.8.2.

I use Keyboard Maestro to map F17 on my keyboard to double-click, Ctrl+F17 to triple-click
