How to type option + insert

Question

In Youtrack (issue tracker) there are shortcuts that require 'insert' key which my macbook pro 15inch 2016 model does not have. How can I emulate it? Is there a combo like fn + that simulates insert key?

I tried everything that was suggested in other questions and answers and have not solved my problem yet.

Have you tried Option + Fn + Return? – Chen Jian Mar 04 '17 at 13:14 — Chen Jian, Mar 04 '17 at 13:14

My understanding is on Macs it will depend on the keyboard type. The different options I am aware of are:

Do a fn + return keyboard shortcut
Do a fn + control + return keyboard shortcut
Press the help key

I do not know if any of these work on a 2016 MacBook Pro keyboard. I suppose you would have to try holding the option key as well as the above options to see if any work.

Did you try asking the app makers what they expect you to do on Mac? – Tetsujin Mar 04 '17 at 11:42
@SašaŠijak I'm sorry to hear that. Did you find an option that works for you? – Mar 10 '17 at 11:28
