This document discusses the Insert key on a keyboard and its functions. It describes the Insert key's location near the backspace key. It explains that the Insert key toggles between insert and overwrite modes when typing. In insert mode, text is inserted before the cursor. In overwrite mode, typing overwrites existing text. The Insert key is commonly used as a shortcut for paste functions or for overwriting text errors without deleting.

 Sometimes displayed as Ins, the Insert key is
a key on most computer keyboards near or
next to the backspace key. The Insert key
toggles how text is inserted by inserting text
in front of other text or overwriting text after
the cursor as you type.

6.  Where is the Insert key on the keyboard?
 Below is an overview of a
computer QWERTY keyboard with the insert
keys highlighted in blue on the main
keyboard and numeric keypad. For the Insert
key to work on the number pad, the Num
Lock key must be turned off.

7.  Insert mode and insert cursor
 In the example image, you can see the
different cursors (I-beam cursor on the top and
block cursor on the bottom). In the top portion, if
we were to type "test " in front of "Computer
Hope example," it would become "test Computer
Hope example." However, if we pressed the Insert
key to change the insert method, the result
would be different. Typing "test" in this instance
(bottom portion of the image) would make the
text "test ter Hope example" because the first
part of the text would be overwritten. In other
words, as you type the new text is written over
the existing text.

8.  What is the point of the Insert key?
 Today, the Insert key's function is most often
used as a shortcut key. For example, pressing
the Shift+Insert on the keyboard it is another
way to paste text on a computer. The Insert
key is also another way to make corrections
to existing text. Instead of moving the cursor
to an error, pressing Backspace, then typing
the correction, you could move the cursor in
front of an error, press Insert, then overwrite
the error.
