How do I insert a value with a key into a table using table.insert?
Ok so I want to insert a value with a key into a table, like so:
local Test = {}
table.insert(Test,["Test1"] = {"Test Table"})
But it always gives me a syntax error. How would I do this?

table.insert is just a normal function -- you give it values, not syntax constructs.
However, it is only used for inserting at the whole numbered indexes. Just set:
Test["Test1"] = {"Test Table"}
-- or, equivalently
Test.Test1 = {"Test Table"}
If it was a number index, using table.insert would look like this:
table.insert(Test, 5, {"Test Table"})
