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".

On a serious note, the PC keyboard seriously needs a revamp. Scroll Lock? What does that even do nowadays?

I usually bind some toggled macros to it (e.g autoclicker). The lil' light really comes in handy for this use case. I also used it as my "mute" shortcut in various VOIP softwares for a while for the same reason

At least move the CAPS LOCK key. There’s no good justification for why it should be on the home row.

I generally remap to swap caps lock with left control. Having control on the home row makes Ctrl shortcuts way less of a contortion act.

Useful in general but especially so on laptop keyboards.

Fucks up what I expect the arrow keys to do in Excel is what.

Switches Excel to scroll the sheet with the arrow keys instead of moving from cell to cell.

In Excel it pans the whole worksheet with the arrow keys instead of shifting the active cell.

Same thing in Word, you can move around in the document without shifting your cursor position.

It also does the same kind of thing in most editors where there is an "active editing position" vs a "view of the page".
