Hi,

Great.  If you'd rather not have this accidentally happen again, do the 
following.

• open System Prefs.
• open the Accessibility pane.
• In the Accessibility Features table, select Mouse & Trackpad.
• You'll note a checkbox for Mouse keys, make sure that it is not checked.
• then you'll also see an Options button on this screen, VO-space on it.
• On this new screen, there should be a checkbox that reads something to the 
effect of pressing the Option key five times to enable Mouse keys.  Make sure 
it is not checked.
• Press OK and close System Prefs.

This should make it so that you don't accidentally turn them back on with the 
Option key.

Hi. I have pressed the option key five times as you have just suggested and I 
think it might have sold the problem. I was on the main desktop when I pressed 
it five times. First letter navigation is now working.

Hi,

Try pressing the Option key five times in a row.  If a certain checkbox is 
checked in the Accessibility pane of System Prefs, then this set of key-presses 
will toggle Mouse keys on/off.

Hi. How do I turn the mouse mode off?  This is my final throw of the dice

If its a Voiceover issue then bring up Voiceover Utility and on the menu bar, under File 
you will find "Reset all Voiceover preferences". If that does not do it, try 
this.

Resetting PRAM.

Shut down.
Locate following keys on keyboard:
Option-Cmd-P-R
Hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.

Turn Mac on.
Immediately press and hold the four keys. You must press this key combination 
before the black screen with Apple logo appears.

Continue holding keys until Mac restarts, and you hear startup sound for second 
time.

Release keys.
After resetting PRAM, you may need to update your speaker volume, display 
resolution, and startup disk preferences.

Hi Saqib,
1 backup all your data
2 shut down your mac
3 reboot holding down command+r which will get you into recovery mode
4 wait like a minute then hit command+f5 to bring up VO
5 you'll find yourself in a table, choose disc utility and erase your hdd
6 close disc utility, interact with that table again and choose
install mac osx. You'll have to enter your apple id and password and
then you should be all set!
Hope this helps! Jeff
