<< Click to Display Table of Contents >> Insert or overwrite?

Entering text is easy. You move the text cursor to the desired point in the document and start typing.

In TextMaker, Insert mode is enabled by default. If you type a character in this mode, it is inserted into the existing text and shifts the following text forward.

Alternatively, you can switch to Overwrite mode. In this mode, the text you type overwrites the following text.

The status bar always shows which mode is currently enabled: If "Ins" is displayed there, the insert mode is enabled. If "Ovr" is shown, you are working in overwrite mode.

You can switch back and forth between the two modes with the Ins key.

Tip: The function of the Ins key can also be disabled for TextMaker. You can find the corresponding option in the Settings, Edit tab.
