Summary	0002251: Insert key doesn't work on macOS 64 bit version
Description	I have regular 102 keys keyboard attached to mac computer. Therefore I have all that INS/DEL and other keys. While INS key selects files on 32 bit carbon version, it doesn't work on 64 bit QT version. I have alternative with shift+UP/DOWN or SPACE, but I'd like INS key works too, I really addicted to it.
Tags	No tags attached.

So it might be that Qt simply omits this event, even though some other programs recognize it (e.g. Emacs). Notably, the key is recognized as a 'Help' key in Emacs and, I think, in Karabiner. So Doublecmd might expect 'Insert' and get 'Help' instead. Not sure if it's possible to map the key to selecting files in the hotkeys, but I'd try exploring that option. A workaround is to use something like Karabiner or Hammerspoon to remap Insert to Shift-Down or Space for Doublecmd.
