Text on the same line gets over-written

#1

I am having a strange issue I have never encountered before on a Windows machine with Sublimetext 2.

Today I seem to have hit a key combination on accident that I do not know what it was. Ever since then when I type text on a line that has text in front of it, it seems to over-write the other text.

It’s like my cursor moves forward when I type instead of adding a space between new text and existing text, so eventually it over-writes existing text on a line.

I’m sure this is a simple fix but I have no idea what cause this or what its called or how to even search for such a solution. Any ideas?

Most editors ignore Insert key. You can avoid this in future by just add to your keymap file:

{ "keys": "insert"], "command": "noop" }
