Thank you! This has been driving me mad but turning off the number lock and pressing 0 worked. I no longer feel the need to put my fist through my screen :)

This just happened to me in Google Sheets, and my keyboard has an Insert key, but it was not working... when typing in the "formula bar," Insert did nothing, and I was stuck in replace (overtype) mode. The trick was to double-click a CELL to put thecursor there. THEN the Insert key toggled insert/replace as expected, and the change to normal insert mode carried over to the formula bar.
Super confusing!

I had the same issues; my num lock was off, allowing the '0' key to function as the insert. Drove me nuts!

I know how to turn it off by pressing Insert, and it works, but it's annoying that I have to do that. Why does it even turn on in the first place? What key combination am I accidentally pressing that is causing the stupid pointless overtype mode to
What's the point of overtype anyway?
Wow...glad to hear it worked (even though you replied to a 3 yr old post)
I hope it didn't take 3 yrs to find the Insert key. <g>

Hi, Sardini.
Usually it is a simple keystroke toggle, not a setting in a program. Most
keyboards have an "Insert" key, often located near the "Delete" key.
Does your keyboard have an "Insert" key? What happens if you press that ONCE?

If the "Insert" key doesn't work, try simultaneously pressing "0" on the nampad and the insert key. Worked for me!

Here's what I found works for me - turn OFF the number lock on the 9-key pad (side number keypad on your keyboard) and push the "0" key (mine has "ins" on the 0 key). Once you do that, the cursor should start blinking again to show you are out of theoverwrite mode and then you can put your number lock back on and use the 9-key pad as usual. Mine always turns on and off when I don't realize that I have accidently turned off the number lock and then I try to type a number.

Had the same problem once before and forgot how to stop it, click off the insert key on the keyboard, that took care of it. No more over writing in gmail.
