Your right, 'fn' key is at the location where I expect to find 'Insert'
key. But the 'fn' key doesn't behave like an Insert key.

Bug description:
MacBook keyboards and other Apple keyboards lack a SysRq key and therefore lack 
important kernel functionality that is designed to save catastrophic data loss 
if the computer freezes.  An equivalent keystroke should be assigned, for 
example Fn + Eject, to preserve the functionality of the Magic SysRq key in 
linux on a Mactel.  I believe this is a bug and not a feature request because 
the current implementation assumes that all keyboards have a SysRq key which is 
an incorrect assumption and therefore a mistake, or bug.
