Mousekeys is a feature on Windows that allows you to press buttons on your keyboard and your mouse goes to in a certain direction and certain distance.
Is there a program or built in feature like this in Ubuntu 12.04?

There is.
- Go to System Settings.
- On the bottom left there is a option called Universal Access, click it.
- Navigate your way to the Pointing and clicking tab.
- You should see the option Mouse Keys, set this to on.
- Now use the number pad on your keyboard to move the mouse.
The number 1 on your number pad moves the mouse up. The number 2 moves the mouse down. Etc.
Tip: All the odd numbers except 5 are used to go diagonal. The number 5 is used to click.
