two modes of operation

Quote :

"The first is overtype mode, in which the cursor, when typing, overwrites any text that is present on and after its current location. The other is insert mode, where the cursor inserts a character at its current position, forcing all characters past it one position further."

but seriously, if you don't like it just pop it off

for backflips.

I used it today actually.

I was retyping something that was all capitals into standard format, so I just pushed insert and replaced it letter by letter.

Of course, there's probably an easier way to get capitals into lowercase, but I'm not aware of it.

i've used it maybe three times in my life

6/3/2008 3:18:12 PM

i know what the intent behind it was, but in reality, it just serves to randomly start typing over my shit when i just want to insert. does it deserve the prime real estate it gets? at least move it to the far corner or something

who's in charge of these things? get that bastard on the phone

6/3/2008 3:38:06 PM

6/3/2008 3:55:25 PM
