I understand perfectly well why you want to disable the Insert key.

Who needs it?? (Unless you're running any applications that uses the button...).

And the Caps Lock button...

Annoying!

Why?

Because if you accidentally hit one of them, you may not notice thAT YOU HAVE BEEN SCREAMING FOR A WHILE, or replainstead of, oh sorry... replacing text instead of inserting it...

What I'd like to see is a little app that disables the buttons of your choice, and lets you easily enable them when you need to use them.

configure,

I've uploaded a REG file that should disable the Insert key (by setting up a scancode map in the keyboard layout). After you've merged it into the Registry, you'll need to reboot.

Would have just pasted it here, but Neowin posts and long lines...

Hugging is allowed. Just no funny business with the hands, K?

timdorr,

This is one I typically use, as I've 'disabled' Caps Lock on PCs for years (my left pinky has a mind of its own).

One maps the Caps Lock to the Ctrl key, the other to Left Shift. I'm sure you can guess which is which. There are a few utility apps out there that handle this, but I like the geek factor of doing it solo. As for games, I assume if one doesn't override Windows' settings, it might have problems. Don't recall running into any though (how many make use of the Caps Lock?).

BTW, if anyone wants to know more about scan code mapping for the keyboard, you might want to start with this Microsoft Dev page:

    • Because of these forums, I decided to give Linux a try a few years ago. I started with Fedora, bounced around to Ubuntu, Mint, and I've landed on PopOS! and I love it. Other than my son's Macbook and his Chromebook, everything in the house runs PopOS!. When I switched my mother over to it, I showed her where the email icon was, and how to get to her Facebook, and I haven't heard a complaint. Linux is far more usable than it once was. I have a dedicated laptop that I try different distros out on all the time, but mostly I reside in Pop. What I love is if I do run into a problem, there are so many forum resources out there to find answers. Most times the distro itself will have user forums that already have a fix for the issue I'm facing. People ditching Windows 10, should they choose to, should at least try Linux. It might not be for them, but if it is, they enter a completely new world of computing. Waiting in the wings will always be Windows 11 or a Mac should they choose that route.
    • The real trick is to make sure the funds go to the right people. Anyone remember the African "famine" of the 1980s/early 1990s? A lot of that was local warlords preventing people from getting food and aid. Thousands of tons of food sat in warehouses and spoiled/got eaten by rodents and untold numbers of innocents perished. Dictatorship and corruption and rot has to be rooted out or else his money is just going to make the wrong people very rich.
