What is Ins key on a Mac?

Post by 111234 »

Like if I'm using a Windows XP VirtualBox on Mac Host and the software requires pressing Ins. How do I do that on a Mac?

If there is, it would be a custom Host-key combination set in the main Virtualbox window, File menu, Preferences, Input, Virtual Machine tab.
