I have been working on my computer and my Mouse has stopped working. Its optical light is still on, but the cursor is not moving.

But i have no time fix mouse.
I am in real emergency to operate the mouse. In my college times, i have heard of 'Moving and dragging mouse cursor with Keyboard keys'. But i dont know how to do that.

Anyone having knowledge about how to operate mouse cursor with Keyboard keys.
Help would be appreciated.

You need to enable Mouse Keys under the Mouse & Keyboard section in the Accessibility pane in System Preferences.

This allows you to move the mouse using the keyboard number pad (hold the Option key + number pad key)
