Reply to note from Edward Mendelson <em36@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Wed, 5 Aug 2020 08:16:43 -0400 > I suppose XyWrite has a command that switches or toggles Typeover > mode XyWrite has an embarrassment of riches in this regard -- no fewer than six functions which can be assigned in the keyboard file. CI = Switch to Overstrike mode (from Insert). MI = Switch from Overstrike to Insert until a cursor key is pressed. SI = Switch to Insert mode (from Overstrike). TI = Toggle between Insert and the active Overstrike mode. TO = Toggle between Overstrike and Insert mode. TW = Switch between Insert mode and Word Overstrike mode. Since I never use Overstrike mode, I haven't experimented enough to become familiar with the nuanced differences among these functions. I simply assign SI to the Insert key to guard against toggling Overstrike by mistake. -- Carl Distefano cld@xxxxxxxxxx
