If you have “Help” instead of “Ins”, replace it with Overgod-tier. Keep pressing it, it will come.

OC, feel free to share.

EDIT; Home is now G-od tier. I didn’t know it would go to the beginning of a line, I always used macros “lol”.

      I remember at one point when I was younger and newer to computers I was typing a document for school and being driven nuts by the damn insert key. Like I had zero clue as to why everything I was typing was just being overwritten every time I needed to go back and change something. I still think the insert key is absolutey evil!

        I had a similar experience, but after I eventually figured it out, I grew to appreciate the insert key. Mostly because there were a few times when someone else was getting frustrated with the same problem and I was able to help them. It made me feel powerful; I had suffered, but I now possessed the knowledge to save others from the same fate.

        Two things

        1. Overwriting existing text
        2. Some legacy scheduling software I use at work, where ctrl+ins inserts the copied day for a given coworker. Useful if you need to swap days in the schedule and a coworker has 3 different classes in as many rooms, and in some classes there are students from multiple courses. It’s archaic, but it saves time.

        For entering overwrite text mode?
