The "insert" key is the most stupid one to have on the keybord, in my opinion. I remember a time before I knew what it did, and occasionally accidently unknowingly pressed it. Suddenly MS Word was all crazy! What do I do? I had to restart the computer whenever that happened (or maybe it was enough to restart Word?), because I had no clue how to help it. Eventually I learned of this button. I've used it a few times, when translating a text from one language to another, but I can never think that the benefit of that button makes up for the pain of those who don't know its function.
(I've always wanted to say this, but there has never been a topic like this anywhere
)
Also, back when I had to look hard on the keybord to type correctly, I sometimes wrote long text all in caps without realising. That was very annoying, when I had to re-type all that. Eventually, I've learnt a trick solution for that: Shift+F3 lets you toggle a text between all caps, all smallcase and first-letter-caps. (And if it wasn't for CC, I don't think I would know the word "toggle"
)
Regarding the F-keys, I use F3, F4, F5, F6, F10, F11 and F12 like a million times every day at work. They are shortcuts in my planning tool program for things like 'save', 'insert new row', 'delete row' and 'open this or that window'.
Interesting topic
