Suppose I type ABEF
then I want to add CD
after B
to get the wanted text: ABCDEF
.
To get the result I want I have to type CDEF
instead just typing CD
.
Some more explanation. when want to add CD
after B
it should add space for the CD
between AB
and EF
.
However, in error it replaces the EF
so I have to type CDEF
instead CD
only.
Is it setting?
Notepad++ and many other programs support both "Insert" and "Overstrike" modes of editing. You are describing the behaviour of "Overstrike". The bottom right hand corner of the Notepad++ window should contain either "INS" or "OVR" to indicate the current mode. Pressing the "Insert" key on a normal keyboard toggles the mode. (On my keyboard the "Insert" key is in a block of six keys, the others are "Home", "End", "Delete", "Page up" and "Page down.)
