Bug Description
https:/
While it is true that "most keyboards have a special key which allows you to right-click" this is not part of mouse keys. The reader could be mislead into thinking it is impossible to do a normal right-mouse-click with mouse-keys. The procedure for doing a right click with mouse keys involves pressing a modifier key before pressing the mouse-click key. Usually this will be / for left mouse-click, * for middle mouse-click and - for right mouse-click.

I've been testing this on my laptop, and although / somewhat works, * and - doesn't actually.
