There is no INSERT KEY on the keyboard

Insert key is vital to my usage of the PC ctrl + ins / shift + ins - keys are used all time

I can see on other posts that FN-key + "E" now means insert 

 

I have three applications where insert is absolutely important

Copy to paste buffer:  Ctrl + Insert   this is now Ctrl + FN + E

Paste content to field: Shift + Insert this is now Shift + FN + E

IntelliJ column mode: Shift + ALT + Insert this is now Shift + ALT + FN + E

 

Yes all three works.... But HP - this is really **bleep** - because I also work on a Real keyboard - and here it is still the real thing.

This means that my nerve system needs to recognize these severe different key press

 

I FIND THIS IS A BUG !!!!  

The keyboard now got a picture of an old PHONE in off position + a picture of an answered phone where the INSERT key normally is..

 

My customer has chose this laptop for me. Therefore I cannot say NO. But I can gurantee that this would never be a PC I would pay for !!!!!

 

I hope to find a tool where I can redefine keys, so I have to use hours for these tasks instead of producing value for my customer - I cannot understand how HP can get such solution to the marked - get i through focus groups etc..
