I'm not sure how to add that keybinding (it would depend on your window manager/desktop environment), but I will say that this functionality already exists. Press Shift+Num Lock and you should be able to move the cursor with 8/2/4/6 (up/down/left/right) as well as diagonally (7/9/1/3), and click with 5 (change the mouse button being used to click with / = left, * = middle, - = right). This of course assumes you have a number pad available on your keyboard.

Use xdotool in combination with xbindkeys.

I use -current and xfce, but have checked KDE services to be started at XFCE start up, I'm saying this just in case you think it is something KDE-related. And Shift + Num is working fine here, if you want to disable it just hold left Shift for several seconds.
