Mousekeys is a feature on Windows that allows you to press buttons on your keyboard and your mouse goes to in a certain direction and certain distance.
Is there a program or built in feature like this in Ubuntu 12.04?

The linux desktop testing project (ldtp) should offer what you need. With the python-ldtp package, you can write scripts in python. The project uses the accessibility methods to perform actions, so the application in question has to be a “standard” GTK/QT/… application and you need to enable accessibility (“Assistive technologies”).
sudo apt-get install python-ldtp
The following python script would click the “New” button in an (already existing) gedit window and enter the string foo:
#!/usr/bin/python
from ldtp import *
from ldtputils import *
click('*-gedit', 'btnNew')
generatekeyevent('foo')

There is.
The number 1 on your number pad moves the mouse up. The number 2 moves the mouse down. Etc.
Tip: All the odd numbers except 5 are used to go diagonal. The number 5 is used to click.
