However, there is an alternate open source program called Karabiner Elements that is a powerful and stable keyboard customizer that should work if SharpKeys doesn't.

Reset the virtual machine before testing the new mapped keys.įor some newer Mac machines with touch bars, SharpKeys may not be the best solution.

In the right column, choose the "Special: Insert" key to map the actual key to the virtual key.

Examples of this include: left or right alt key, or the left or right control key. Note: You can choose any keyboard key to map, but it makes sense to use a key that is duplicated on your keyboard so you do not lose any functionality. That key will be highlighted on the left column.

Or just find the key you want to replace on the list manually.

Click the "Type Key" button and press the key you want to replace.

Run the SharpKeys program and click the "Add" button.

Open your virtual machine program and download and install SharpKeys.

Included in the application is a list of common keyboard keys and a Type Key feature to automatically recognize most keyboard keys. SharpKeys is a utility that manages a Registry key that allows Windows to remap one key to any other key. One option to remap an unused key to the missing insert key is by using an open source program called SharpKeys. If you are going to be using Windows screen readers a lot on your Mac, this is probably the best option. This option is more expensive, but also more reliable.

There are many external keyboards you can plugin or that use Bluetooth to connect to your Mac. Use an external keyboard that has an insert key.

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.Before trying any of the methods below, you may want to configure NVDA to use "Laptop" keyboard layout in the NVDA menu (NVDA+n) => Preferences => Keyboard Settings since the desktop layout relies on many keys which do not exist on some Mac keyboards (depending on your computer and/or keyboard model). 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 🙂 ).

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.īut 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 🙂), 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).
