I hadn't really thought about it that way, but you have a good point. On the other hand, I do like being able to use shift-tab and arrow keys to move around a form.
But if mouse emulation is what you're after, nobody does it like the Amiga. Hold down the left-hand Amiga key, and the arrow keys will move the mouse pointer - slowly at first, but hold the keys down and the mouse pointer will accelerate. This way you can make small precise movements but still get to the other side of the screen reasonably quickly. Pressing the left-hand Alt and Amiga keys simultaneously simulates a click of the left-hand mouse button, while the right-Alt-Amiga simulates the right-hand mouse button. This is handled by the OS, so it works in any application program. And it doesn't interfere with an independently-designed keyboard interface, if the application programmer is kind enough to provide one.
