I have tried multiple ways to emulate the 'insert' key on my MacBook Pro with no success. Have tried karabiner, adding other/Unicode Hex, and others, but am unable to find any keycode to emulate Insert. Tried remapping function keys, and even though it claims to be 'insert' nothing happened when I pressed the remapped F7 key (also tried F8 and F9 for fun).
Then I dug out a 102-key PC keyboard that has the INSERT key, but that didn't work either!
