What? Hate the Insert key (break my editor button) to the point I often remap it rather that hit by mistake when missing delete. ;-)


How do you copy/paste in the different terminals then?


90% select, middle click paste. 9% shift+ctrl+c ctrl+v, 1% context menu.

I have used the insert hotkeys for that in my career but is negligible. Because it usually breaks editors and things. Makes them work like a hex editor. But I have a hex editor already. Don’t need that mode so easily reachable, perhaps if it required a modifier to reach.


If you use (n)vim it's a good key to have.


Don't those use the "i" key?


Yes, but "i" is not a toggle.
