If you are running Windows in a Virtual Machine on OS X, the VM application will most likely offer a key-mapping facility.
Use your Virtual Machine to map a key (or combination) to INSERT In this case, you have three options, detailed below. If you have a Mac laptop, or non-numeric keyboard If you wish, you can also map other keys (such as the relatively unused F16) to INSERT, too (more details below). Thanks to Hans Hillen for pointing this out. Then the “0” key on the numeric keypad is INSERT in Windows. If you have an Apple keyboard with numeric keypad You may want to use keystrokes in screen readers such as INSERT+F7 (in NVDA or JAWS) to bring up a list of links on the page, or INSERT+CTRL+ (in JAWS) to bring up a list of ARIA landmark regions. This article collects together and updates advice I have encountered on and off the web to access or map the INSERT key in Windows on a Mac (either in a Virtual Machine or via Boot Camp), which is useful when you are using assistive technologies such as screen readers.
