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”.

Insert is extremely useful in any editing situation. Right after Find and Replace.
Except in VS Code -.-
tbh I’ve been saved by VS Code ignoring a fat fingering of the Insert key by mistake far more times than I’ve actually wanted it to work as intended.
Too many years of Vim and now vim-keyed modern editors has resulted in the Insert key going ignored on almost every keyboard I’ve owned.
When I built a fancy ergo keyboard, it has arrow keys, pgup/down and home/end, but Insert is one of the few that did not make the cut, along with Caps lock, Scroll lock, Printscreen and Pause.
I do feel stupid for having left off the backtick by accident. Someday I need to remember to add it to the ~ key as a layer and recompile.
Okay? Linux programming tools are pretty niche. Others absolutely support the insert key. And writers would probably riot if you got rid of it.
Niche? You’re posting on on programmerhumor, lol.
I’m not denying the key has value, otherwise it wouldn’t have made the 101 key standard. It just doesn’t have value to me, because my fingers don’t look for it. I will catch myself typing “caw” to try to Change A Word in the wrong editors.
I’m one of those nerds who wants all their shortcuts to use the alphabet keys. I use a Dactyl-Manuform and my hands rest perfectly in the dishes, I don’t like reaching outside of them.
Well the statement is about keyboard standards. Everyone uses keyboards.
