I bought a Tactile Pro for Mac, which I liked a LOT. But it doesn't have an insert key, which is a big problem for me at work. Hoping someone has one lying around they're not using.

Just one key, eh?



Could you remap the Help key to Insert using Autohotkey or whatever's currently in fashion on Windows?

You cannot. I tried that. The "Help"key on the Tactile Pro 4 is now a Modifier key labeled fn and doesn't produce a scan code. In email exchanges with Matias, they told me I should be able to press fn+delete to get insert, but that's not working for me. I tried it on Windows and on Linux.

If fn+delete worked, I would just use the keyboard.

I can hit the clear key (Caps Lock) and then do shift 0, but that's just more typing than I want to do. If I wanted to do that, I would get a 60% layout and use layers.

The best thing about the Matias is the built in USB 2 hub. I have my trackball plugged in the side, and my Yubikey plugged in the one on the back.
