PC Insert key equivalent on the ultra thin apple keyboard (german layout)

i was working on a windows server 2008 via a remote desktop connection using CoRD.
somehow i managed to activate the overwrite mode (where you don't normally type but overwrite everything right hand side of the cursor).
and i struggled to deactivate because i couldn't find the key.
(as a workaround i was able to deactivate using Fn+m on the builtin keybaord of my MBP). but how can i do that with my external keyboard?
i surely have activated it with this external keyboard, so there must be a way to disable it.
some googling turned out it's the "help" key. but since this ultra thin keyboard doesn't have any help key but a Fn key at that position. (the Fn+m combo has no effect when pressed on the external keyboard).

Hallo neongrau,
according to this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1216 it's fn + enter.
Hope it helps
Regnet's bei euch auch gerade ?

  • Apple Final Cut Pro Retrofit Ultra Thin Alu Keyboard

    Hello there, I've just got a Apple Final Cut Pro Retrofit Ultra Thin Alu Keyboard to help me learn the shortcuts to FCP, but it has no instructions on the colours as to make it easier for me to quickly identify the short cuts, ie is it option-click, comd-click, cnt-click on the selective keys. If you know what I mean. Do the colours Identify what comd key I use?

    I'm not sure how old it is, but it is covered for 1 full year as long as it didn't take that 19 story dive.

  • 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

  • Need an Insert Key? Try the free utility remapkey.exe from Microsoft

    After much searching, I was growing tired of trying to figure out how I could have an "Insert Key" on my macbook. I run Bootcamp with Vista Business, and do lots of cutting in pasting.
    I came across this blog which is simple, straightforward and informative. I won't bother explaining everything as he does a much better job than I probably would - but essentially if you download the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools, it includes a utility called remapkey. It's a very slick tool indeed! I converted my right hand Apple Command Key to my Insert key in all of about 3 minutes. For those interested, read on .......

    Oh my god, it is too long! You definitely check out types, casting and especially ODP.Net (it does everything for you)... etc. They can help you to simplify your code. I do not have enough time to copy paste it to Studio and understand and solve your issue, so I got title of your message as your main question.
    In Oracle, you can create an autonumber field by using sequences object. This is really useful when you need to create a unique number to act as a primary key.
    Basically you can create a sequence simply typing;
    CREATE SEQUENCE MY_SEQUENCE;
    now you have a sequence called "MY_SEQUENCE"... Then, I advice you select a number from sequence;
    select MY_SEQUENCE.nextval from dual;
    I said I advice actually kinda must, although it called sequence, I cannot be sequential. Do not even try to predict the value. You can be sure that it is unique number so you can use it.
    Then insert you record and use that number part of your primary key. I think that's it. Have fun.

  • HT1216 Apple Keyboard (Ultra-thin USB) keyboard

  • Is the thin Apple keyboard an upgrade?

    My old style apple keyboard is beginning to develop sticky keys again. Replaced it once, already. Want to know if the new thin model is smooth, easy to get used to, and a step up in quality and function.

    That depends mostly on personal preference. I find it much easier to type on than the white keyboard, and a breeze to keep clean, whereas with the white keyboard dirt was always settling into the clear plastic underneath the keys.

  • Scroll Lock function with ultra thin mac keyboard

    In the Boot Camp Installation Guide (on pg. 17) there is a table showing PC key commands and the corresponding Apple keyboard commands for both external and built in keyboards.
    The table shows F15 to be the single stroke for scroll lock.
    Yet, I can't seem to get it to work.
    We want to use the scroll lock function to work with x-Fire while playing Halo to chat with other players (something that is easily done on a pc).
    I tried some of the other Apple commands -- and get no response from any of them.
    Suggestions?
    Danty

    I realized it is simply a matter of Windows not recognizing the Mac keyboard.
    Anyway the warning window went away and isn't an issue any longer.
    The keyboard works just fine.

  • F-key mappings being disabled with non-apple keyboard

    I'm using a Happy Hacking Lite 2 keyboard on my iMac. It doesn't have an eject key on it like the Apple keyboards so I remapped my f-keys for dashboard, exposé, etc. so that I could use F12 for ejecting optical media. Since upgrading to Leopard, I've noticed that whenever I want to use exposé or the dashboard when I get the f-key, nothing happens. When I open the keyboard prefs, I see that those keys are disabled. I re-enable them and everything works fine again for a time, but eventually (like a couple of hours) they mysteriously don't work again. I never had this problem in Tiger.
    Any suggestions on how to correct this?

  • Can't Safe Boot or Single User Boot with the new (wired) Apple Keyboard

    I have found that my shiny new Apple keyboard does not recognize the shift key or command-s when booting, making it impossible to boot into either safe mode or single user mode.

    I'm having the same issues here.
    Read on Macfixit about incompatibilities with the Core Duo machines (I'm running a 1.66ghz Core Duo MacMini, 10.4.10) and can't startup using safe mode or single-user. Not sure if this has been addressed yet?

  • Ultra thin usb keyboard brightness lock

    My keyboard got cleaned by my son while connected and now when I press the dedicated brightness up or down key the symbol appears on screen with a lock underneath. So the adjustments can not be made on either key.
    I can make adjustments via the system preferences/displays just fine but the lock symbol persists.
    I tried going to ../keyboard and restoring defaults and that doesn't work for me either.
    Can someone please help me turn the lock off?
    Thank you for all your help.
    Alan

    This whole affair happened with the log on screen up, which is why I found it so puzzling. I had tried unplugging the keyboard and restarting but that didn't fix it. Finally in .../display/options the box "disable brightness button" was selected, deselecting this resolved the issue for me.

  • Is it possible to use the Insert Key in Illustrator?

    I have a massive block of dummy text set up in Illustrator 5 and the easiest way for me to change the dummy text is to overwrite it as one would when using the Insert function.

    PC's usually have a physical 'Insert' key located in the same space as Home / Page Up / Page Down / Delete & End. This key allows you to overwrite text as you write. Wikipedia says it best "
    The first is overtype mode, in which the cursor, when typing, overwrites any text that is present on and after its current location." < this is what I would like to be a ble to do.

  • Apple ultra thin keyboard: how can I hit F9 ??

    Hi Folks,
    Darned if I can figure this out: how can I use F keys on the ultra thin keyboard while using Windows via Boot Camp--I need the standard F keys for Windows uses, but cannot figure out how to make them work.
    Many thanks in advance for asking such a silly question.
    Cheers, Doug

    Nevermind--I found the checkbox in the Boot Camp preference pane in Vista, duh...

  • 2011 Lion ultra thin keyboard PC shortcuts

    I just got the most recent 2011-2012 Lion version of the Apple Ultra Thin wired keyboard for Christmas but it seems some of the keyboard shortcuts that used to work with Windows don't work anymore. I can't seem to find a page that shows the correspondances like there exists for the older Apple keyboards.
    Can anyone point me to a new reference? Thanks!

    OK, after a couple of weeks I can confirm the following:
    1. The two ultra-thin keyboards I own both have the same model number: A1243, EMC #2171. However, the unique identifier (serial?) on the underside is different.
    2. The older one was purchased less than two years ago and the new one is 2 weeks old.
    3. I plug the old one in and all the PC shortcuts work.
    4. I plug the new one in and none of the PC shortcuts work.
    Can anyone in this universe explain why this is so? Thanks!
