Meanwhile my corporation just bought new HP ZBook 14 which don't have Insert key. Instead it has dumb phone keys and something with a monitor painted on, 3 useless buttons instead of proper keys. No sysrq, no pause/break either. And this modes is supposedly for "work", not for gaming or media (from marketing point of view).
It is so frustrating to press extra keys just to have ctrl+ins and shift+ins.
- vezycash 7y agoCan't you give it back to the corporation? Else, this is only the beginning of your frustrations. The next upgrade would almost certainly be worse.
- Yizahi 7y agoThis is a centralized upgrade, so they won't change the contract just for me and we don't have a BYOD policy here. Anyway - external KB alleviates it mostly, I'm just ranting at a corporations making "Pro" or "Workstation" devices clearly downgraded for these same categories - professional workers. Macbooks without F keys, lenovo cutting keyboards from best in industry to "meh" and so on.
- aliswe 7y agoHow about an external keyboard to alleviate the problems though.
- Yizahi 7y agoAt workplace this is what I do, mostly for better key profile - I'm using MS Natural 4000 with a front bar. But when traveling or working from home I'm using it as-is, with a laptop KB.
- dingo_bat 7y agoFn + E should work as Ins.
