I am currently working on automating an obscure Win32 application. I can use the tab/cursor keys to navigate the interface (kind of looks like a spreadsheet - columns/rows/cells). The app does not seem to have a way to use the keyboard to select a row - instead, it appears I have to double-click on the selected cell with the left mouse button.
After a quick Google search, I found MouseKeys offered by Microsoft. It is supposed to allow you to use the numeric keypad - the 5 button is left click, the plus sign is double-click. Keys 1234789 are supposed to allow the cursor to be moved. I'm not having luck getting this to work. MouseKeys is running - just not doing anything when I try to use the numpad.
I have to use remote desktop to login to the Windows system I'm working on. I suspect this could be causing the issue, but not positive. To make it even more complicated, I am using the Mac version of Remote Desktop to access the Windows system running the Win32 app.
