Try doing this: http://osxdaily.com/2010/02/26/use-the-tab-key-to-switch-bet...

Then when I go to the panel, I tab and it only highlights the left-side of the portion. Confused me at first but after mashing some keys I found that you need to press up/down on the left page to select the "mouse portion" THEN tab again and it will go "into" the place with the mouse keys. Here's a gif http://imgur.com/a/SedKz.

That's so weird -- everything's the same for me up until the Tab part. When I press Tab, nothing happens. "Mouse & Trackpad" just stays highlighted.

Edit: See nearby replies -- the reason you were able to do this is that you had previously changed a default setting which has no obvious way of being changed without a mouse.

Yeah, I've had this enabled for years.
