          the commands those controls this toggling from command line are



          gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.keyboard mousekeys-enable true
          gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.keyboard mousekeys-enable false


          you can make a script for toggling of them like below.
          i named it like Mouse Keys Toggling MKT.sh and stored on Desktop.



          #!/bin/bash

          key="org.gnome.desktop.a11y.keyboard mousekeys-enable"
          current=$(gsettings get $key)

          if [ "$current" == "true" ]; then
          gsettings set $key false
          else
          gsettings set $key true
          fi


          so for toggling i have to use /bin/bash ~/Desktop/MKT.sh



          enter image description here



          now i will set custom shortcut for it as i wish.



          Make the MKT.sh scrit executable by
          chmod +x /home/user-name/Desktop/MKT.sh #replace user-name with yours.



          go to keyboards, add new short cut anything you wish.
