Hi,
I have trouble with overtype mode, which turns on automatically every time I want to edit a segment by copy-pasting a text. Thant's not only annoying, but also problematic, as it leads to typing mistakes, which sometimes I just can´t see.
Can you please give me a solution? (please, don´t tell me to turn it off on the Keyboard, I just want to disable it entirely)
Thanks!
When copying source to target you press INSERT key. This toggles the overwrite mode on and off. This shortcut cannot be changed in Studio. When using your keyboard shortcut to copy source to target you simply must pay attention not to press the INSERT key twice.

Actually, I am using ctrl+C and ctr+V. I thought there could be a way to disable some kind of shortcuts, which correspond to that...
Hi Dilyana,
The best solution is to disable or remap the Insert key to do something else, which can be achieved with AutoHotkey.
I use the script below to use the Insert key to move the mouse pointer to the top of the screen, which has the added benefit of avoiding any accidental toggling of OVR/INS.

If you're not familiar with AutoHotkey, you can follow the steps below to get it up and running in a few minutes:
1. First, download AutoHotkey (www.autohotkey.com) and install it. Once installed, you won't see anything open, that's normal. AutoHotkey runs in the background and allows you to run your own scripts (macros), which are created in plain text editors, such as Notepad or Notepad++.
2. Create a new script:
– Go to a folder in Windows Explorer where you would like to save your script (I have a folder called AutoHotkey Scripts just to keep them all in one place). Right-click on an empty space in the folder and select New-AutoHotkey Script. Give a name to your script and save it.
So far, you have the empty "skeleton" of a script. Now you need to enter the actions you want it to execute.
– Right-click on the script and select Open, then open it with a text editor, such as Notepad (I prefer Notepad++, available for free).
– Once the file is open, you will see that there's already some text in it. Paste the script code above starting in a new line.
– Save the file.
3. Activate (load) the script:
– Double-click the file. This will load the script. Look for a green square with a white H in it in your system tray, which indicates that the script is active.
Please note that you will need to reload the script if you restart your computer, unless you add a shortcut to the script file to your Startup folder.
Thank you!
