No, Scott. I wanted exactly what you have given me. I expressed myself loosely, and therefore, to a logical and precise mind I expressed myself ambiguously. My lesson here is to aspire to express myself more accurately. Consequently, the lesson is mine! But you have perceived me intuitively so it's all all right.

The man has a very good point. my bad! If you wanted to map a true insert key then you'd need sharp keys.

it actually makes the capslock key the "jaws" key.  there is a big
difference between an insert key and a "jaws" key.

Simon - you're right, there's not a dedicated key.

Personally I use the Jaws laptop keyboard layout, which makes capslock
your insert key. If you find yourself in need of capslock, you just have
to hit it twice quickly to engage and the same to go back to lowercase.
You can switch to the laptop layout by going to the options menu in jaws,
then basics, and there's a combobox in that dialog that lets you choose
it.  If you wanted to choose your own insert key, sharp keys is probably
the utility you need, but I don't have a clue about it other than knowing
it works for some, never used it yet.

Would anybody know how to simulate Insert button on a Macbook keyboard
while running Windows and Jaws? I do not think that there's a dedicated
insert key on the Macbook keyboard.
