Hi, Where is the insert key on surface pro or how can I access it without a physical keyboard? I need it for shortcuts. Any workaround?
 
On Microsoft Surface Pro, the Insert key is not dedicated, but the Type cover can be used on Fn + Enter to do the Insert functionality (or with any other mapped key).
 
On a Microsoft Surface Pro, there’s no dedicated Insert (Ins) key on the keyboard.

How to use it:

  • Press Fn + Enter → works as Insert on many Surface keyboards
  • Or use the On-Screen Keyboard (Windows + Ctrl + O) and click “Ins”
It’s mainly used to toggle between typing modes (insert vs overwrite).
