(define-key key-translation-map (kbd '') (kbd '')) Taking inspiration from I added the following to my. _KeyToKey_ Keењњode::PC_INSERT, Keењњode::F13 I used Karabiner to map Insert to something more useful than Help, since Terminal.app doesn't see Help. Pressing another key behaves as if typing Ctrl-v with no intervening press of Insert. At a Bash prompt, Ctrl-v Insert results in no output. In OS X's Terminal.app, as far as I can tell, the key presses aren't passed to the terminal itself at all. Googling, I can't find anywhere that discusses remapping the Help key.

More accurately, it doesnt have a key with the Windows symbol on it, but the one marked command or cmd acts as one. In a GUI window, Emacs treats Insert presses as Help key presses and shows the help, which is logical. The first and most obvious is that a Mac keyboard doesnt have a Windows key. How do I map that keypress to have the same result in GNU Emacs that it does when running in, say, Windows or Linux: toggling overwrite-mode on and off? ( )

No matter what, I think it is possible to use Karabiner, you just may have to get creative, and maybe do Google searches and experimentation.By default, when using a PC keyboard attached to a Mac, OS X treats presses of the Insert key as presses of the Help key that appears on the extended Mac keyboard. 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.

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. 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 рџ™‚ ).

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). 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.Д«ut 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 рџ™‚), 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.

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).
