SAP GUI (for Mac) ABAP Editor INSERT Fn BUG

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I am not sure if this is a bug or what, but on the ABAP Editor (tried on both SAP GUI for Mac versions 6.40r6 and 7.00r1) the INSERT function usually found in PC keyboards seemed to be turned on, and I can't find any way to turn it off.

I already tried using EINFGmac (<a href="http://www.squart.de/software/einfgmac/">http://www.squart.de/software/einfgmac/</a>) which supposed to simulate the INSERT key on my mac, however the SIMULATE INSERT-KEY from the menu option is grayed-out, and I can't have it enabled.

This thing (the turned on INSERT Fn) is such a hassle because I can't edit my ABAP codes without overwriting the characters in the same position with the ones I am inserting.

Hope you guys can help, please do let me know your workarounds on this, thanks in advance!

Regards,

Mark Sapio

Did you try clicking the INS with the mouse? On windows it switches the functionality.

I just installed 7.00rc1 on my MBP. Clicking the OVR/INS on the bottom right will change the mode.

Hi,

for your convenience, there also is a menu item "Cursor Overwrite Mode" in the "Edit" menu in the Mac menu-bar when SAP GUI for Java is the front application to toggle insert and overwrite.

Hitting command-i, you even do not need to switch to the mouse while typing.

Best regards

Was experiencing the problem with Insert using Citrix,this is the solution:

Disregard the Shift- in front of the Insert as this may be for setting up a key stroke.  I was able to turn on and off the Insert function SAP GUI running in the Citrix environment using this.  Hope it helps.
