How to make making clicking the insert key open a pop up to insert text WITHOUT the comments pane

Community Beginner ,

So, coming from Adobe X where I could click Insert and it would open a text box for me to type the text I wanted inserted, I'm getting even more frustrated with DC Pro.   I found the 'single key accelerator' option under general, and that only half solved the problem. I don't want to have to live with the comments pane open all the time because it takes up too much space on my laptop screen and also often times that might be my first comment of the document.  How can I make clicking insert create the text box without adding in the comments bar and comments pane and making my view of the document itself smaller?

Add the "Add Text Box" tool to your Quick Tools. Then you should be able to avoid having the Comments pane open up.

So I added it to my quicktools, and it didn't seem to do anything. If I highlight text and hit delete it adds the red strikethough like I want, but if I just place my cursor between words and hit 'insert' nothing happens. Unless I click and open the comments pane, and then if I click and hit insert the text box appears. 😕

That's strange. When I add the Insert Text tool into the Quick tools, and then I plce my cursor in the taxt and click on Insert Text, the comment box shows up, but the Comment Pane does not.
