Laptops have an Insert key. Sometimes it's not as conveniently positioned as the one on the number pad though.
On my Thinkpad, the Insert is at the top of the keyboard and is reasonably accessible, depending on other keys to be pressed in combination. However, just above the space bar, very conveniently placed, is the rarely used middle mouse button. I therefore wrote an AutoHotkey script to remap the middle mouse button to the Insert key.

I wonder why they call it the laptop layout if you still have to use the insert key for moste keystroke?
