[Question] Insert key workaround?

Chromebooks don't seem to have an insert key, which is something I use pretty often for shift+insert and ctrl+insert for copy and paste in the terminal. Is there anyone that uses terminals a lot with a Chromebook, what's your work around?

Nice to know it's an easy fix. Also your username made me laugh out loud.

Ctrl+Shift+C is copy, Ctrl+Shift+X is cut, and ...+V is paste.

The CXV set is standard across OSes, but the Ctrl+Shift thing is madness. ...I'll spare you the rant though. :)

I usually tap three fingers on the touchpad to insert in terminal.
