Eject key mac os

Question: Q: How to add insert key on a mac Keyboard

I sometimes work from home using my mac to log into my windows work computer. I use Microsoft Remote Desktop to log in and use Citrix. It is a program that requires me to use the insert key all the time. Is there any way I get to get that work on my mac? Do I need to remap a key? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Google has turned up 2 possible approaches

Command-Control-I (which come to think of it Control-I is TAB)

I have also seen references to using Karabiner

Thank you, I have tried those. Any other suggestions? It does seem odd this does not work.

I could experiment myself.

I have limited Windows experience, but I do have Microsoft Remote Desktop and access to some Windows systems at work (not via Citrix, just directly to the Windows systems). I mostly have to use Windows to take some mandatory training courses that are written only for Windows, otherwise I spend most of my time working with Linux/Unix systems at work.

But if you can explain how I would use the «Insert» key, and how it should behave when I use it (I really am that Windows ignorant 🙂), on some commonly available Windows app (Notepad, Firefox, Thunderbird, Internet Explorer, etc. ), I could experiment a little and see if I can come up with something, or some Karabiner setting that works.

It is even possible, I’ll succeed where you fail, and that might indicate a difference because of Critix (anything different in the setup is a possible cause of interference, so it can also be a useful diagnostic).

I can’t promise anything, but I’m sure I can spend a little time this weekend (after vacuuming the house 🙂 ).

Well, in the program I use, it added a line of text. so I could insert words. I am not sure where else you use it.

Buy a Windows USB keyboard, there are ridiculously cheap in supermarkets and computer supply stores.

Feb 19, 2017 4:42 PM

Yes, that is what I could do. I was just looking for a way to use just one keyboard

Feb 19, 2017 5:00 PM

OK, I found a ‘Karabiner’ solution that worked for Me via Microsoft Remote Desktop

to a Windows PC (I think it is running Windows 7, as that is what work has given me; I do not spend much time using the Windows system, rather I’m always working with Unix & Linux systems)

While the entry says F12(Eject) to Forward Delete/Insert, I found that on my keyboard it was the dedicated «Eject» key that was turned into the Delete/Insert key. My keyboard has a separate F12 and a separate Eject key, so it was the fn+Eject key that functioned as an Insert key. Depending on which keyboard you have, it may be F12 or it may be Eject. Or it may be the power button (some keyboards allow the power button to act as the eject key). If you have one of the Late 2016 Macbook Pro w/Touch Bar models, I have no idea what key you would use, as that Mac does not have F-keys, nor eject. Maybe the finger print key, as it can also be the power key, but I’m not at all sure, and I am not willing to do the research. 🙂

No matter what, I think it is possible to use Karabiner, you just may have to get creative, and maybe do Google searches and experimentation.

[Mac OS X] Добавляем Eject в строку меню

Этот совет, возможно, придется по вкусу пользователям, использующим неродную клавиатуру на iMac или на тех моделях Mac-mini, что были с оптическими приводами и при этом испытывающим недостаток на ней кнопки Eject. А так же, возможно тем, у кого более одного привода оптических дисков.

Безусловно, можно извлекать диски из привода и другим способами, например, через контекстное меню примонтированного диска на рабочем столе или иконкой в боковом меню Finder-а. А потому этот способ не заменяет, а лишь дополняет стандартные возможности.

Суть его — в добавлении специального «менюлета» (Menulet) в строку меню. Собственно это иконка, позволяющая выполнять извлечение диска из привода.

Итак, приступим. Находясь в Finder-е и нажав комбинацию Shift+Cmd+G, вводим /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/ и нажимаем кнопку Перейти:

После чего, находим файл Eject.menu :

И двойным щелчком по нему устанавливаем нашу кнопку Eject, которая незамедлительно появится в строке меню:

Собственно в дальнейших комментариях необходимости нет. Единственно, что следует добавить — убрать «менюлет» из строки меню можно вытянув его из строки указателем мышки с зажатой клавишей Cmd.

P.S. Ну и посмотрите еще в этом каталоге остальные файлы… может кому чего и сгодится… 🙂

Mac keyboard shortcuts

By pressing certain key combinations, you can do things that normally need a mouse, trackpad or other input device.

To use a keyboard shortcut, press and hold one or more modifier keys and then press the last key of the shortcut. For example, to use Command-C (copy), press and hold the Command key, then the C key, then release both keys. Mac menus and keyboards often use symbols for certain keys, including modifier keys:

• Option (or Alt) ⌥
• Control (or Ctrl) ⌃

On keyboards made for Windows PCs, use the Alt key instead of Option and the Windows logo key instead of Command.

Some keys on some Apple keyboards have special symbols and functions, such as for display brightness , keyboard brightness , Mission Control and more. If these functions aren’t available on your keyboard, you may be able to reproduce some of them by creating your own keyboard shortcuts. To use these keys as F1, F2, F3 or other standard function keys, combine them with the Fn key.
