How to turn Bluetooth or Trackpad without a mouse

I have a compact MacBook without USB ports.

I disabled the trackpad and used just a Bluetooth mouse. Accidentally turned off bluetooth and now can not use cursor at all. How can I turn on Bluetooth with a keyboard?

Or another option - how to turn on the trackpad using the keyboard?

Now my MacBook is totally unuasable because of this issue. Help please.

Press Control+Fn+F7, unless you know that your tab key is set to "All Controls."

Press ⌘Space and type /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Bluetooth.prefPane

Press enter.

Press Tab until the "Turn Bluetooth on" is highlighted. Press Space.

Your BT mouse should auto-connect if it is on.
