I use a Mac with the superb Matias Quiet Pro external keyboard. Some 
combination of keys I hit every now and then wrenches me into overwrite mode, 
from which I thought the only escape was through prayer and restarting XXE.

Today, as it happened again, I broke down and searched through the XXE docs for 
a more immediate solution. (I know, that’s such a radical approach for a tech 
writer.) Right away, I found the right page 
<http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/wh/overwrite_mode.html> and 
followed its advice to click the OVR icon in the lower right status bar, which 
returned me to INS mode.

However, that page also instructs me to do nefarious things with my Insert key 
as the shortcut for the same action. Like all Macs and third-party Mac 
keyboards, I just don’t have an Insert key. 

Could you update the referenced page to include the Mac keyboard shortcut for 
the INS/OVR toggle? Or if one doesn’t exist natively in the Mac edition of XXE, 
add one?

I've used XXE every day for about a decade, and still love it! Thanks!
