Writing in insert/overwrite mode

Text can be entered in insert or overwrite modes

  • Insert mode

    The characters entered are inserted in the current position of the insert marker in addition to the existing characters.

  • Overwrite mode

    The characters entered are inserted in the current position of the insert marker and overwrite the existing characters.

Switching between the modes is done using the Insert key.

The current mode is displayed in the status bar using INS for insert mode and OVR for overwrite mode.
