What is the equivalent of "Alt-Insert" in IntelliJ for Mac OS X?
Many Mac keyboards does not have insert keys, and even when connecting a PC keyboard, the insert key is not functioning.

If there's an error in the code, pressing ⌥⏎ (macOS), or Alt+Enter (Windows/Linux), can suggest options that will make the code compile. If there's a warning, IntelliJ IDEA will show you what the warning is, and may offer one or more suggestions on how to fix that warning.
Code generation You can use automatic generation of the code – Alt+Insert. To extract some part of the code to method – use Ctrl+Alt+M. Similary you can do this for focused value to extract it to variable using Ctrl+Alt+V, or to constant using Ctrl+Alt+C.
The 'insert' function can be recreated on a macOS system by clicking on 'Fn' and 'Enter. '
The Insert Key is used to toggle how text is inserted by either inserting the text in front of the other text or overwriting the text to the right of the cursor as we type.
The equivalent shortcut is Command+n.

Funnily enough, ctrl+Enter also works for me.
