Map some other function to the insert key

I'm ofthen editing config files and source code... If insert key will
work in any unnatural way under Ubuntu, I'll change my OS.

Of course, there should be a way of easy disabling _any_ key on
keyboard. Aslo, there may be question about it during setup (checkbox
when selecting keyboard layout or sth like this)...

But why to change behaviour that is widely known?

Aslo, saying "insert != override so this key should never switch
editor to override mode" Makes perfectly the same sence as saying
"lock != unlock, so pressing Caps Lock should never allow to unlock
casp".
