Toggle keyboard insert/overwrite mode (command Insert/Toggle keyboard insert/overwrite mode)


This command toggles whether keyboard input will be inserted between bytes at the caret or if it will overwrite bytes at the caret.

For overwriting data the overwriting entering mode must be enabled, that means, the status bar must show "OVR" somewhere. Toggle the entering mode with the Insert-key on the keyboard or choosing Insert/Toggle keyboard insert/overwrite mode . You can overwrite the data in the bytes section by moving the cursor to the appropriate position and pressing any of the hexadecimal digits 0-9 and a-f on the keyboard. The nibble the caret is marking currently will be set to that value and the caret will then go on to the next nibble. If the caret is in the bytes section, pressing any alphanumeric key will set the current byte (that which the caret is marking) to that value, and the caret will go on to the next byte.

For inserting data the status bar must show "INS" somewhere. Entering data now will insert a byte at the current position.
