Funny, you know I always wondered why the Mac doesn't have a
dedicated insert key like the pc. I know its sort of pointless, but
just curious. Just like the backspace key is simply the delete key
and then you have a forward delete key. It luckily didn't take me
long to master how to handle inserting text and such cause it is
different than doing it in windows for example.

Hi Dane
In addition to what Jerry mentioned about the "Enter" key and the
"Return" key on the Mac:
In some Spreadsheet apps the "Return" key will confirm the entry
and move you down one cell whereas the "Enter" key will simply
confirm the entry and leave you in the same cell.
In some Word processors, the "Enter" key when pressed will insert a
page break in contrast to what the "return" key does.
another thing that may be of interest to you is the ability to have
the number pad, Page UP/down, Home/end and Insert/Del keys by
pressing cmd+f6 on your laptop. Press the cmd+f6 first then turn
Keyboard Practice on and see what you find on the right hand side
of your keyboard.
Not sure if this is new information to you but thought it worth the
note.
