Remap the Insert Key

01Check your keyboard first

1. Look for an Insert label shared with another key. Your keyboard may use Fn with that key.
2. If no combination is available, use Microsoft PowerToys Keyboard Manager.

02Open Keyboard Manager

1. Install PowerToys from Microsoft Store or Microsoft’s official project.
2. Open PowerToys → Keyboard Manager and enable the utility. Choose Remap a key.

03Add your mapping

1. Choose a spare key as the source and Insert as its destination. Save the change.
2. Keep PowerToys open. When the product is ready, press your chosen key to toggle its menu.

04Restore the original key

1. Delete the mapping in Keyboard Manager whenever you no longer need it. Closing PowerToys also stops its mappings.
