INSERT Key

Question

Hi,
we use on our macbook pro 2018 Remote desktop app Version 10.5.0 (1841) to connect to windows 10 Pro (1909) to use our business software.
We need to use INS key but we don't have on Keyboard and we can' t find a shortcut to make it.

Someone can help us?

Answer 1

taken from other forum "you can use karabiner.app to make f12 into insert for MRD it works for me link https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/ checkbox "Enable at only Remote Desktop Connection Client - Use F12 as insert" (it's findable by "insert" string)" hope it works

Hi,

You can use on-screen keyboard after remotely connecting to the Windows PC if you would like to use insert key.

Or you can read below article to learn INSERT key usage in Windows on a Mac.
It says that if you have an Apple keyboard with numeric keypad, the “0” key on the numeric keypad is INSERT in Windows.

Hope above information can help you.

Hi everybody,

thanks a lot for your answers, finally we decide to use karabiner, but confirm that works the numeric pad too.
