Toggle Insert/Overwrite Mode not working in "Editor"
显示 更早的评论
Hi,
I notice that when I set a keyboard shortcut to "toggle Insert/Overwrite Mode" (as shown in attached screenshot), this is applied only to the Command Window and it does not work in the Editor (Matlab 2021b). I try to change the keyboard button but the issue remains :-(.
Could you help me to solve this issue? Have I turn on some additional options?
Thanks in advance...
All the best

Hi,
From R2021b, "Toggle Insert/Overwrite Mode" shortcut only works for command window. That's why you are not able to use it in editor.

Really???
This is a serious regression.
So how do we overwrite text in the editor?

I'd like to bump this problem. Why has this feature been removed?

@Reshma Nerella: So you just give it to us straight like this?
Don't recall there being a user survey with the question "Should that pesky Insert/Overwrite mode finally be removed from the Editor?". Bet not many users would have answered YES to that!

I really need this function back. I understand some people might not need it, but why remove it?
It’s present in pretty much all software editors except Matlab.
Please add it again!

This seems like very basic functionality. I don't think it's a surprise that people would object to its removal. If there were a good reason for the removal, it should be given when asked.

Can't understand how someone actively removed a good, understandable and useful feature...

It was really a bad idea to remove this feature in the editor. There are cases where the overwrite mode is missing and typing is really annoying. A user survey may not appeal to all people who just want to use the software and are now wondering why overwrite mode is not implemented - like me. There are also many features that I don't use and still wouldn't question.
Best regards,
Erich
