DM4 Insert Key without pressing the FN key

Regardless of what setting is applied in the BIOS, the insert key always requires a combination of FN+Insert... 
Is there any way to configure the keyboard to not require the FN key to get the insert key to work? A lot of apps use the Insert key to add new items (e.g., mind mapping software - insert adds new nodes).
Thanks so much in advance!

You might try this keytweak software to remap the key

  • U530 function keys without pressing Fn key

    I just bought a new IdeaPad U530 laptop and using a function key requires pressing both the Fn key and the specific function key wanted.  Other postings show how to change that on other models and one said that the answer was in the User's Guide.  Neither the User's Guide which was preloaded on my laptop nor the one I downloaded address this.  Every other laptop that I've ever had doesn't require using the Fn key and it's a real pain to have to press both keys together.  I use function keys much more often than the functions that are triggered when the Fn key is not pressed.  Can anyone help?

    hi dfmyrick,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    Looking at Chapter 1 - Page 3 of the Ideapad U530 Users Guide, there's a note where you can toggle Hotkey Mode in the BIOS (this is the option where you don't need to press the Fn key for the function keys to work).
    - Link to picture
    Can you try to:
    1. Boot into the BIOS via the UEFI Firmware Settings
    2. In the BIOS, navigate to the Configuration Tab and look for Hotkey Mode or Hotkey Switch then set the value to HotKey Mode or Enabled.

    3. When done, press F10 (or Fn+F10) to save and exit then observe if you can now press F1-F12 without pressing the Fn Key inside Windows.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Disable the need of the function key when using the control key

    I'm often using the F1-12 keys when using an IDE for developing. Those IDE's use the CTR+F1-12 shortcuts quite a bit and it's always needed to use FN+CTR+F1-12 which is ridiculous and redundant. Is there a way to keep using the functions assigned to F1-12 (Adjust volume, brightness...) without pressing the function key and be able of using CTR or ALT +F1-12 without the need of pressing the function key?

    According to the system help text it is possible. And for me it works as described in the help text on my MacBook Pro.
    But on my  Mac Pro (late 2013) the relevant control (“Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys”) is missing form System Preferences >> Keyboard >> Keyboard.
    From the help text for the topic "Use keyboard function keys:"
    If you frequently use the alternate function of a function key, you can switch the keyboard so that the function keys perform the alternate function without your pressing Fn. You then hold down Fn to use a function key’s original hardware control function. If your keyboard doesn’t have an Fn key, try holding down the Control key.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Keyboard.
    Open Keyboard preferences
    Select the “Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys” checkbox.

  • When I type, words get deleted and moved without me pressing the delete key

    Whenever I type, the words randomly highlight and then get deleted or moved around without me pressing the delete key. I'm not sure what's wrong. I have up to date software and everything. It MAY be a virus because I don't have updated virus protection. But I'm not sure if it's that or anything else
    Do you have any idea?

  • Since upgrading to Firefox 10.0.2 my AVG extension has had to be disabled, as after typing in any web address in the address bar, the enter key had no effect and I could not go to the site without pressing the Reload arrow on right.

    I have recently upgraded Firefox to the latest version 10.0.2. After that I could not enter any website address and press the enter key and get to the website, nor could I select a website from the dropdown list of previously visited websites. The only way I could get there was by pressing the arrow on the right side of the address box (Reload current page). Once I disabled the AVG extension, everything worked normally. As soon as I enabled the AVG extension, it stopped working again.

    Follow these steps for the controls to work:
    # Start > Programs > Mozilla Firefox > Mozilla Firefox
    # Find the “Tools” menu at the top of the browser window and select “Add-ons”.
    # Click on the “Extensions” icon to make sure you’re in the correct option menu.
    # Locate “AVG Safe Search” and click on the containing line to highlight and select the add-on.
    # Click the “Disable” button and close the Add-ons window.
    # Close down any Firefox windows you may have open.
    # That’s It – You’re Done!

  • I have MacAir with OS 10.8.4, how can I cancel the automatic link of my USB flashdisk to Mac instead of BootCamp, since I have one time press the ALT key before choosing "MAC" or "BOOTCAMP". Thanks

    I have MacAir with OS 10.8.4, how can I cancel the automatic link of my USB flashdisk to Mac instead of BootCamp, since I have one time press the ALT key before choosing "MAC" or "BOOTCAMP". Thanks

    That only happens when you are running Windows in a Virtual Machine with OS X as the host. Shut down the VM and restart your Mac.  Once the VM is running again and you insert a USB flash drive you should get that prompt again.

  • Opening an application while pressing the shift key

    Recently, Microsoft Word 2011 failed to open and showed the message, "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close." I followed troubleshooting instructions on the Microsoft website. Nothing cured the problem, but creating a new user account did enable Word 2011 to open normally. That seemed to imply that "a corrupt user account" was causing the problem. I could not find any instructions about how to repair that, but at some point I came across the suggestion to "hold the shift key down and click on the Word icon in the dock." I did this and Word opened normally in my account. After this, Word opened normally without holding down the shift key. Apparently this fixed the problem.
    My question is, what does pressing the shift key do while you open an application? What's different? Why did it work? What's special about the shift key in this situation?
    Thanks.

    It may be something specific to Word/Office. Individual applications may accept different launch arguments passed to them via key combinations, such as holding the Option key when launching iTunes to invoke the option for choosing the library to use.

  • The pressing the Shift key to make a capital letter kicks me out of gmail or reloads the current web page

    I'm suddenly getting some strange behavior on my Windows 7 PC. (I can hear all you Linux users formulating witty retorts...don't do it! :-). When I'm composing an email in Gmail and press the Shift key to get caps, it kicks me out of the composition page. And nothing is saved in drafts either. Internet Explorer doesn't have this issue. The Shift key works normally. Also, If I try to paste using Ctrl+V it make the webpage text shrink. I was trying to log this issue on the computer with the problem but I couldn't login because of the caps and the paste issue.
    I just discovered another quirk: If I press the Ctrl key without the +V it still shrinks the text.

    Hi Matt,
    Thanks for the suggestion, but there's no option to uninstall a driver. It's a MS Ergonomic 4000 keyboard and it just shows up as an HID compliant device. I tried uninstalling the Microsoft Mouse & Keyboard Control Center, but that didn't help either.
    I've also pressed the keys numerous times (at one point it asked me if I wanted to enable 'Sticky Keys' which I didn't). Rebooted too. Even deleted the user profile, removed the PC from the domain, rejoined it to the domain, logged in as the user, and restored a previously backed up Transfer Wizard profile. And I checked while logged on as the local Admin and got the same weirdness.

  • Brand new Notebook Keyboard adds a "space" after pressing the "B" key?!

    My brand new HP ENVY 17 SELECT EDITION NOTEBOOK PC 's keyboard keeps adding a space everytime I press the "B" key.... HALP?      
    Example: "B rand new PC"

    Have you tried this?
    To Perform A Hard Reset
    Shut down the computer by going to the Start menu and selecting shut down. (If you have no display, hold the power button down for  5 seconds)
    Disconnect the AC Adapter from the notebook.
    Remove the battery from the bottom of the notebook.  There will be a switch/button to eject the battery.
    Wait at least 1 minute with all power sources disconnected.
    Re-insert the battery and reconnect the AC Adapter and then attempt to power on the notebook.

  • Firefox is not loading specific websites for me. Sites like Facebook, Ebay, Google, and Netflix refuse to open, or even acknowledge me pressing the Enter key

    Firefox is not loading specific websites for me. Sites like Facebook, Ebay, Google, and Netflix refuse to open, or even acknowledge me pressing the Enter key when I type in the address or click a link to that site. Practically every other site works perfectly fine. I did not change any settings or download any new addons prior to this problem, it just started happening. I have done everything I can find in the forums; resetting firefox, clearing cache and cookies, making network settings use no proxy, reinstalling, and today I uninstalled Firefox, updated and scanned my computer with all 3 software I use (AVG, Malwarebytes, and Spybot), found no issues, restarted my computer, and reinstalled a freshly downloaded Firefox setup without importing any settings or doing anything other than a totally clean install, and still nothing. Chrome and IE still are able to access every site perfectly fine. I have no idea what the issue is or how to fix it, as I've tried everything I know and could research.

    Hi There,
    Sorry to hear of your issue. I found a great article for you to read and explain how to fix your issue. I hope this hope :)

  • How can i delete apps for IOS 7.0.6 when i press the home key the "X" key doesnt appear

    how can i delete apps for IOS 7.0.6 when i press the home key the "X" key doesnt appear?

    Hi-
    This worked!. After updating to 7.0.6 a few days ago I was unable to delete apps. Called Apple support for help without success. I have NEVER entered a passcode to get in to restrictions so I know I didn't make this change (so I'm assuming that 7.0.6 did it for me). Apple wanted me to restore my iphone but thought I'd do more research first. Your advice solved the problem. THANKS!

  • Unexpected behaviour upon pressing the 'Enter' key on dialog screen

    Hi.
    I have two dialog screens that exhibit unexpected behaviour when i pressed the 'Enter' key.
    Screen 1: When I pressed the 'Enter' key, the focus shifted to another input field and the content of the previous input field is cleared. The thing is, I did not have any codes in PAI for 'Enter'. Why is this happening?
    Screen 2: On load, some of the fields on this screen will be disabled. However, when I pressed the 'Enter' key, all the disabled fields become enabled. Again, I did not have any codes that handle the 'Enter' key in PAI. Why is this happening?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Atish.
    Yes, I have used CHAIN... END CHAIN.
    I thought that CHAIN... END CHAIN allows my input fields to be re-activated after an error message is displayed.
    How would CHAIN... END CHAIN cause the unexpected behaviour?
    Thanks.

    Project deleted in iPhoto 11 ver. 9.1.1
    After spending three months building a twenty six page Book Project in iPhoto i added a page and later decided to delete the page. I selected the page, pressed the delete key and confirmed the delete dialog box ( i didn't read, dummy) by pressing the delete button. The whole project was gone, the undo menu was grayed out and there was nothing in the iPhoto trash about my Book.
    Surly I can find this if I knew the path to find the project in a library on a back column I have of my hard drive.. Could anyone help me?

    Sorry I'm having a hard time getting this.
    If I go to my hard drive BIGMAC>Library>Application Support>iPhoto>the only thing in this folder is Themes.
    However, when I "Get Info" it's 580MB for 24,421 items. iPhoto says I have 35,977 photos. I would think the database would be into the GB for this many photos.
    If I go to BIGMAC>system>Library>I find nothing about iPhoto
    Is the iPhoto file in the Application Support the one I need to replace with my backup?
    Thanks so much for your help.

  • Is there a way to adjust the Scroll bar? Because when I press the arrows key once it goes straight to the bottom of the page rather than going down gradually.

    Before when I pressed the arrow key to navigate up and down the screen it would do it gradually. After I up graded to the current version it now skips down to the very bottom of the page.
