Can a keyboard pretend to be a mouse?

[Eric House <fixin@peak.org>]

I'm looking for a bit of software that'll let me use a combination of
key strokes (in X) where a mouse is called for.  Numberpad '6' moves
pointer to the right; '5' simulates a click -- that kind of thing.

Some apps don't provide keyboard equivalents for all user actions, and
my laptop mouse is a royal pain to use on airplanes.

Even the Mac did this years ago, so I'm hopeful.

Thanks,
