Ahh, ok, overtype is entirely within Scintilla, the only thing Geany does with 
it is read the status from Scintilla to set the status bar INS/OVR, even the 
insert key operation is within Scintilla.

So yeah the way to go is a plugin that captured keybindings and tested overtype 
and if it is on did the new behaviour in its own code, or if overtype is off 
passed control to Geany to do as normal.
