If you have "Help" instead of "Ins", replace it with Overgod-tier. Keep pressing it, it will come.

OC, feel free to share.

EDIT; Home is now G-od tier. I didn't know it would go to the beginning of a line, I always used macros "lol".

I must be in the minority. I haven’t used any of these keys in over a decade. Probably more like 15 years at this point. Command + something can replace almost all of these, so why waste an extra key on it.

Really you just need a command key, get rid of the rest. Hold it down for different lengths of time to indicate which key input you want.

You still use keys?

There's a comedy sketch from about twenty years ago where that happens but I can't find it at the mo.

You joke, but my caps lock on my laptop keyboard is mapped to command and if I double tap it and hold it’s my hyper key. On my crkbd keyboard if I hold a it’s option and semicolon is control. I have quite a lot of keys like this. It’s very efficient.
