I've revised the page. Mouse keys seems to be partly documented in
various places on the internet but I couldn't find a full description
anywhere. My main source was the wikipedia mouse keys page (link below).
I've copied this page in using the terminology "mouse keys" - though
perhaps it should be "Mouse Keys".

In my opinion the page (that is, mouse-mousekeys.html) is mainly about
using mouse keys where the keyboard has a "real" numeric keypad. As the
page mentions, I know that some laptop keyboards can simulate a numeric
keypad.

I haven't checked the details of text that I haven't changed - though I
did make a small correction to step 4 of the procedure.

Title:
  Doc page on mouse keys makes a misleading point about right-clicking

Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  https://help.ubuntu.com/13.04/ubuntu-help/mouse-mousekeys.html

  While it is true that "most keyboards have a special key which allows
  you to right-click" this is not part of mouse keys. The reader could
  be mislead into thinking it is impossible to do a normal right-mouse-
  click with mouse-keys. The procedure for doing a right click with
  mouse keys involves pressing a modifier key before pressing the mouse-
  click key. Usually this will be / for left mouse-click, * for middle
  mouse-click and - for right mouse-click.
