keyboard usability

Well, no wonder I've always found this laptop keyboard so hard to type on. It's not that the Insert key is in a different position on the top row than I'm used to. The top row doesn't even *have* an Insert key. It is only present on the zero key at the bottom of the number keypad.

Surely I must have noticed this before (to paste, I end up pressing Ctrl-V instead of Shift-Ins), and yet it feels like a brand new discovery.

In contrast to this one, my work laptop is relatively easy to type on.
The work laptop keys are much easier to read, a thick white text on a black background.
This laptop's keys have thin black text on a grey/silver background, along with light blue alternate text. I always think if I peer hard enough, that light blue text will say "Insert" somewhere but it doesn't.
