Description

I used to press control + numpad insert for copy and shift + numpad insert for paste, but I noticed that in Linux the insert and numpad insert are not equal.

In my experience, many applications in linux support both insert and numpad insert (e.g. chrome, vscode). Some others regard numpad insert as Num + Insert (e.g. KDE system settings and Konsole). But it seems that Rio doesn't directly support numpadinsert according to the doc

Additionally, rio do not support numpaddelete, too. I think it's necessary to support them.

Research direction

Start with the bindings key documentation linked in the issue and trace how the listed key names are represented and handled. Check whether existing binding tests cover keypad keys. Done means bindings accept both numpadinsert and numpaddel​​ete in Linux without changing the existing insert and delete behavior.
