DM4 Insert Key without pressing the FN key

Regardless of what setting is applied in the BIOS, the insert key always requires a combination of FN+Insert... 

 

Is there any way to configure the keyboard to not require the FN key to get the insert key to work? A lot of apps use the Insert key to add new items (e.g., mind mapping software - insert adds new nodes).

 

Thanks so much in advance!

You might try this keytweak software to remap the key
