simulates mouse click. You can do everything mouse can do with a keyboard.

Run keynav, and activate it by pressing Ctrl+; (semicolon). You should see a thin frame on the screen with a cross in it.
Default configuration:
* h : select the left half of the region
* j : select the bottom half of the region
* k : select the top half of the region
* l : select the right half of the region
* Shift+h : move the region left
* Shift+j : move the region down
* Shift+k : move the region up
* Shift+l : move the region right
* Semicolon: move the cursor to the center of the selected region
* Spacebar : move the cursor and left-click
* Escape : cancel the move
CONFIGURATION
You can configure your own key setting. There is an example in /usr/share/doc/keynav/keynavrc. Copy it to $HOME/.keynavrc and edit it as
you like.
