Mac laptops have a ‘hidden’ numeric keypad, as discussed in the WebAIM article mentioned above, though due to the extra keystrokes required to access it, this approach is not recommended. Use the numpad on the Mac laptop keyboard The Windows “Remapkey” tool mentioned in this WebAIM article.There are a number of utilities that can be used to achieve this, including the following. Use a key remapping program within Windows VirtualBox passes all keys except the Host Key directly to the Virtual Machine, so you would need to use a key remapping program within Windows.If you are running Windows in a Virtual Machine on OS X, the VM application will most likely offer a key-mapping facility. Use your Virtual Machine to map a key (or combination) to INSERT In this case, you have three options, detailed below. If you have a Mac laptop, or non-numeric keyboard If you wish, you can also map other keys (such as the relatively unused F16) to INSERT, too (more details below). Thanks to Hans Hillen for pointing this out. Then the “0” key on the numeric keypad is INSERT in Windows. If you have an Apple keyboard with numeric keypad You can tell which mode you are in by looking at the Status bar at the bottom of the screen. When your computer is in Overtype mode, text you type replaces any existing text to the right of the insertion point and erases it. CAPS LOCK cannot be easily used as a replacement, due to the different (to Windows) way that Mac keyboards handle it. Press the Insert key (located to the right of the Backspace key) once you can change your computer to Overtype mode.Mac laptops do not have the INSERT key.You may want to use keystrokes in screen readers such as INSERT+F7 (in NVDA or JAWS) to bring up a list of links on the page, or INSERT+CTRL+ (in JAWS) to bring up a list of ARIA landmark regions. This article collects together and updates advice I have encountered on and off the web to access or map the INSERT key in Windows on a Mac (either in a Virtual Machine or via Boot Camp), which is useful when you are using assistive technologies such as screen readers.
