How to turn off overwriting text in pythonscript editor

Scripting
1

I accidentally pressed a button combination which now overwrites letters when I try to type something in between other letters. How do I turn this off again? I’ve had this before and I managed to turn it off at the time but I cannot figure it out now.

So when I have this word:
explainproblem

and I want to type “this” in between “n” and “p”, I end up with:
explainthislem

Instead I want to end up with:
explainthisproblem

Pressing the Insert key toggles overwrite on Windows, there might be other shortcuts as well.

Thanks!
Do people actually ever use this functionality?

I sure don’t, but do sometimes unintentionally toggle it :wink:
