If you have "Help" instead of "Ins", replace it with Overgod-tier. Keep pressing it, it will come.
OC, feel free to share.
EDIT; Home is now G-od tier. I didn't know it would go to the beginning of a line, I always used macros "lol".

You can take my ins from my cold dead hands!
I remember at one point when I was younger and newer to computers I was typing a document for school and being driven nuts by the damn insert key. Like I had zero clue as to why everything I was typing was just being overwritten every time I needed to go back and change something. I still think the insert key is absolutey evil!
I had a similar experience, but after I eventually figured it out, I grew to appreciate the insert key. Mostly because there were a few times when someone else was getting frustrated with the same problem and I was able to help them. It made me feel powerful; I had suffered, but I now possessed the knowledge to save others from the same fate.
What do you use it for
Two things
What shell is that? Bash and sh use Emacs bindings, C-y. Or if you meant terminal, urxvt and I'm pretty sure xterm use C-M-v. Maybe that's the gnome terminal?
Ohh thank you
For entering overwrite text mode?
Thank you
