Mouse Button Replaced by Keyboard Stroke?

Question

Anyone know of a application that allows a keyboard key combination to emulate holding down the right mouse button?

(I have trouble holding down the right mouse button while moving the mouse in random directions... just feels weird to me ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Doesn't that "Application" dedicated key do just that by default?

Maybe the "Accessibility" options in the control panel may helpyou.   You can use the numerical keypad to control the mouse..  you may be able to hold down a key there while moving themouse around.

With MouseKeys enabled, "5" (numpad) is the left mouse button and "+" (numpad) is the right mouse button. You can still use the mouse for moving. The shortcut for enabling MouseKeys is ALT+LeftShift+NumLock.
