[okteta] [Bug 472751] Insert Mode overwrites instead of inserting
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472751 --- Comment #4 from Friedrich W. H. Kossebau --- Okay :) > Is Overwrite by default the usual setting for editors? Might depend on the type of data that is edited :) Text? Images? Spreadsheets? Audio? Videos? In case of a hex editor when editing existing files many of those are in formats where data is bound to be at fixed offsets. So inserting is not that typical there, people rather often only twist existing bytes without changing the overall data layout. So the default was set to be Overwrite mode (unless starting with an empty file). Sadly there is no one-default-fits-everyone here? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I missed the Overwrite checkbox in the Edit menu, and the INS/OVR button at the bottom of the screen. Is Overwrite by default the usual setting for editors? No worries, I'll change it in my profile and my issue goes away. Thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472751 --- Comment #2 from Friedrich W. H. Kossebau --- Also, "Insert Mode" expression in the bug report title might hint that the existing "Overwrite Mode" feature had not yet been noticed, and the editor was in Overwrite mode for you when you experienced the unexpected? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Curious., which other programs shaped your expectations here? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
