Is there some way to use the registry hack in this post Windows INSERT key anti-functionality accidentally triggers; how to stop it permanently?

to make the Insert key do the same as End? My Lenovo X240 keyboard has a compact keyboard with Fn keys mapped to things like changing brightness and volume by default, so I want to put FnLock on, but in that mode, the End key unwisely becomes Insert so I end up over-typing by mistake after trying to move to the End of the line.

But if I could change Insert to just still be interpreted as End, that would completely solve the problem.

TIA

KeyTweak 2.3 can help you with remapping in visual way and then create registry keys for you. It seems that its homepage is no longer available so you have to rely on search.

If you want to use key remappings also for your productivity, then open source tool AutoHotKey can be much better choice. You can set up key remapping like

Insert::End  

.

Bonus:

if your CapsLock bothers you, too, remap it as well. Example of 3 functions I use:

;send em dash on CapsLock
;note: Alt+CapsLock isn't mapped to anything so you can use it to toggle CapsLock as before
CapsLock::
    SendInput –
    If GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T")
        SetCapsLockState, Off
Return

;send bullet on Ctrl+Shift+CapsLock    
^+CapsLock::Send •

;run new Internet Explorer on Ctrl+Alt+CapsLock
^!CapsLock::Run "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -new
