Apparently Mac keyboards don't have an Insert key (or maybe they do but I can't find it). How can I get to insert mode in vim on a Mac?

If this is as simple a question as it seems, you merely press i.

Vim enters the insert mode using i (or a for append), regardless of platform. Overwrite mode is only rarely entered using Shift+r. I've never used the Insert key here.

Pressing "i" brings you into insert mode within VIM.
