Keyboard types over other words

Sometimes you may see that the words you are typing are being typed over the letters on the right of the cursor.

People frequently press the “Insert” key by accident, which puts your computer into a different mode of input. In this mode, everything you input is typed over anything that already exists to the right of the cursor.

The input mode you are used to inserts characters at the cursor and forces everything to the right over once space. Pressing the “Insert” key switches between these two input modes.

Find the “Insert” key on your keyboard. It is usually located to the right of the “Backspace” key, above the arrow keys. Press “Insert” once. Resume typing.
