    I seem to be unable to find an option to disable the "Insert/Overwrite" Toggle (hitting the Insert key switches between Insert mode and Overwrite mode). This feature is absolutely useless for me, I might even describe it as detrimental to my productivity...

    This idea is directed to the developers of Trados software, who are probably not translators themselves. Make the option to choose the correct type of quotation marks (English, French, Dutch, German etc) available for all file types, without excluding...
