I am new to Blender, and at this point I'm trying to learn how to position the camera in order to see what I'm doing. The problem is I cannot use the mouse or keyboard. I have an eye tracking device for mouse control, which also includes an on-screen keyboard. However, the shortcut hotkeys do not respond to my on-screen keyboard, which is the case for other programs I have used. In addition, I cannot do a combination of holding a certain key while doing a certain mouse click, or holding down the middle mouse button while dragging. So I have no way of positioning the camera in some very basic ways. Are there there are alternative ways of moving the camera, such as using macros like autohotkey?

Go into Camera View Numpad 0.
Enable Lock Camera to View.
Press N or open the Controls Region (or click on the triangle at the top right of the 3D vieport), in the view tab enable Lock Camera to View.
Then you can naviage like you do with other views or using the numeric pad.
Numpad 4 and Numpad 6 will rotate left right.
Numpad 8 and Numpad 2 will rotate up and down
Numpad + and Numpad - willmove the camera forward and back
For Version 7.9:
