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".

They are all useful, except for maybe Pause. Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert ist like Ctrl-C Ctrl-V, but it works in terminals too. Home goes to the beginning of the line. Shift+Home marks the line from current position until the beginning.

And Scroll Lock?

Scroll lock is useful for Excel. It makes the arrow keys scroll the spreadsheet without changing the currently selected cell. This was actually the original use case for the scroll lock key.

Wasn't it also used to stop terminals (I'm talking, old-ass, mainframe terminals here) auto scrolling even before that ?

I think the pause/break key did that.

I actually had no clue since whenever I pressed it nothing happens.

It's useful for UltraVNC to pass through key combos like alt-tab without triggering them on the local PC.
