Innovation would be to actually have that key on most laptop keyboards.

Almost every laptop that isn't a MacBook has an insert key. The only other manufacturer I've seen leave it out is HP, and then only on some models.

Even my tiniest keyboards have it!

For the first couple of pages I thought that the article was a gag, and {C,S}-Insert was going to be the punchline.

I use Alt-W and Ctrl-Y in the terminal, because I already use these to copy/paste on Emacs, and none of the CLI tools I use require these shortcuts.

The only issue is remembering to use Ctrl-C/V on Firefox, unless someone knows a way to remap its keybinds.

I just select text and press middle mouse button to paste (three fingers tap on trackpads). it works 99% of the time
