When I asked about adding an overtype mode a long time ago (to TextWrangler?), I was left with no uncertainty that's it's a path Bare Bones won't be going down :-)
Even in the SAS editor which supports it, I barely use it anymore--it's faster to realign columns after editing than go in & out of overtype mode.
