Insert is a Mode. Hitting it again doesn't Toggle. It's not off and on, its a selector as in "I want Insert Mode please" So hitting it again just says that again.
The toggle is the kill mode, or delete mode. Don't insert at my position, kill my position, delete the key I'm on... That's the toggle. Whether SB+ recognizes this salient fact or not, I'm not sure. -----Original Message----- From: Lunt, Bruce <bl...@shaklee.com> To: U2 Users List <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Sent: Fri, Dec 7, 2012 4:37 pm Subject: Re: [U2] SB Client question I tried entering the Insert again with no luck. -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Kate Stanton Sent: Friday, December 07, 2012 4:35 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] SB Client question Does it toggle? In some Windows processes, it does. Have you tried just pressing Insert again?
