[Athen] Questions About Eye Control Device

Hello, we have a student who is using an eye control device to interface
with his computer. I am not quite clear whether it is an add-on device to
his computer or if it actually is his computer. The URL to it is:
https://www.tobiidynavox.com/en-us/devices/eye-gaze-devices/i-15-with-communicator-5/


He has recently asked me if there is an alternative way to perform various
tasks in Excel, such as selecting text. These functions involve holding
down shift+ctrl. He is physically unable to do this and his device does
not have a typical keyboard. I'm also not sure that he is able to use a
mouse. The only other thing I can think of is if the options he needs are
available on the ribbon - could he use his eyes to activate these controls?

Any ideas on operating Microsoft Excel with an eye control device would be
appreciated.

Thanks,
Robert
