I'm not so sure about the availability of "Insert" on all keybaords.  I
know it is missing on certain Macintosh keybaords, but I'm not sure
if that includes any that we would support.

Using "Caps Lock" is bad because IT LEADS TO ACCIDENTAL CAPS LOCKING.  Also
I've noticed problems using "Caps Lock" as a user-defined bind because
holding it seems to cause some (hardware?) conflicts that can cause certain
other key presses to be ignored until it is released.  At least on my PS/2
IBM Model M.
