Please introduce a way to remap the `Ins` key to the `Cmd` or `Ctrl` or `Option` key

[diwu1989]

I have a Cherry ML4100 keyboard that doesn't have the windows key at the right place, however, I do have a Ins key that isn't used much

Keyboard looks like this

The fn key on the left side next to ctrl isn't registered by the computer Can you help please?

<item>
  <name>Change "Ins" to Modifier</name>
  <identifier>private.change.ins.to.modifier</identifier>
      <autogen>
        __KeyToKey__
        KeyCode::PC_INSERT,
        KeyCode::COMMAND_L,
      </autogen>
</item>

The code above change "Ins" to "Left command", you can change the line "COMMAND_L" to other modifier to fit your need.

Just put those code in your private.xml and enable it

for how to put it in private.xml refer to https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/xml.html.en (highly recommend give the whole reference doc a read so you know what is possible, lots cool stuff)

for list of Karabiner keycode refer to https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner/blob/master/src/bridge/generator/keycode/data/KeyCode.data

let me know if you have any more question
