Hi

It is possible to use workbench without a mouse.

Hold "Amiga" key and use cursor keys to move pointer.  If you want the pointer to move faster, also hold "Shift" key.

To click left button push left "Alt" key AND left "Amiga" key.  A double click is simply these key presses twice in quick succession.

As you might imagine to click right button, push and HOLD right "Amiga" key AND right "Alt" key.

Other shortcuts are: left "Amiga" and "v" USUALLY means "OK" and left "Amiga" and "b" USUALLY means "cancel".  You can also cycle through the open Workbench screens by using "Amiga" and, I THINK "n".  "Amiga" and "m" brings the initial Workbench screen to the front, if memory serves me correctly.  There are loads more but I forget them.

I'm pretty sure the above works in Workbenches going back to at least v1.3.

Most games will not use these shortcuts, but the Workbench legal ones might.  You can pick up a joystick on UK Ebay fairly cheaply.

Good luck and enjoy! :-)
