Maybe the finger print key, as it can also be the power key, but I'm not at all sure, and I am not willing to do the research.
INSERT KEY ON MAC PRO
If you have one of the Late 2016 Macbook Pro w/Touch Bar models, I have no idea what key you would use, as that Mac does not have F-keys, nor eject. Or it may be the power button (some keyboards allow the power button to act as the eject key). Depending on which keyboard you have, it may be F12 or it may be Eject. My keyboard has a separate F12 and a separate Eject key, so it was the fn+Eject key that functioned as an Insert key.
While the entry says F12(Eject) to Forward Delete/Insert, I found that on my keyboard it was the dedicated "Eject" key that was turned into the Delete/Insert key.
INSERT KEY ON MAC PC
To a Windows PC (I think it is running Windows 7, as that is what work has given me I do not spend much time using the Windows system, rather I'm always working with Unix & Linux systems) OK, I found a 'Karabiner' solution that worked for Me via Microsoft Remote Desktop I can't promise anything, but I'm sure I can spend a little time this weekend (after vacuuming the house 🙂 ). Where is the Insert key on a PC laptop keyboard The Insert key on a laptop is often part of another key around the Backspace as shown in. To simulate an Insert key on an Apple Mac keyboard, press the keyboard shortcut Fn+Enter. It is even possible, I'll succeed where you fail, and that might indicate a difference because of Critix (anything different in the setup is a possible cause of interference, so it can also be a useful diagnostic). If you have an Apple computer, Apple laptop (MacBook), or Apple keyboard, the Insert key is replaced by the Fn key. I mostly have to use Windows to take some mandatory training courses that are written only for Windows, otherwise I spend most of my time working with Linux/Unix systems at work.īut if you can explain how I would use the "Insert" key, and how it should behave when I use it (I really am that Windows ignorant 🙂), on some commonly available Windows app (Notepad, Firefox, Thunderbird, Internet Explorer, etc.), I could experiment a little and see if I can come up with something, or some Karabiner setting that works.
But I would like to know if any sort of person needs their insert key, because perhaps I speak out of ignorance.I have limited Windows experience, but I do have Microsoft Remote Desktop and access to some Windows systems at work (not via Citrix, just directly to the Windows systems). Maybe there’s also a way to pry the button off with a carving knife. Maybe there’s a way to disable this-maybe there is.
So I’m constantly hitting the insert key on accident, and there’s no way to tell that you’ve toggled on overtype mode until you notice that your new text is eating the shit out of your old text. Time for my trusty insert key!” How about you insert a bullet into your head? Meanwhile, the insert key is located right next to backspace, which is for people who edit text in an educated fashion. What kind of asshole would make such an edit? “Man, I really need to delete the thirteen characters to the immediate right of my text cursor, and I also need to insert a word that’s exactly eleven characters long, leaving two extra characters for spaces. The only scenario this would be useful is if you wanted to get rid of the proceeding text of your document, but only in a quantity of characters that was exactly equal to your newly-inserted text. What it does is it transforms your keyboard into a living nightmare in which everything you type replaces the text in front of it, as if all that other text in your document was just hanging around for decoration. Prior to pointing devices, the insert key might have had some utility, but now it’s just a trick button. I would rather the insert key be replaced with a button that gives you a mild electrical shock. Sometimes it is buried within another menu such as Format. The command is usually located in a menu located on the menu bar at the top of the screen. The insert button was removed from the Macintosh keyboard. There are a lot of useless keys on a standard PC keyboard, but only the insert key has the power to fuck with your work. You will not be able to find the insert button on a keyboard that is shipped from Apple.
