Unfortunately this is not one of the default keyboard shortcuts than can be set with a command in 18.04.

the commands those controls this toggling from command line are
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.keyboard mousekeys-enable true
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.keyboard mousekeys-enable false
you can make a script for toggling of them like below.
i named it like Mouse Keys Toggling MKT.sh and stored on Desktop.
#!/bin/bash
key="org.gnome.desktop.a11y.keyboard mousekeys-enable"
current=$(gsettings get $key)
if [ "$current" == "true" ]; then
gsettings set $key false
else
gsettings set $key true
fi
so for toggling i have to use /bin/bash ~/Desktop/MKT.sh
now i will set custom shortcut for it as i wish.
Make the MKT.sh scrit executable bychmod +x /home/user-name/Desktop/MKT.sh #replace user-name with yours.
go to keyboards, add new short cut anything you wish.
