I cannot figure out how to stop the overwrite mode on my 2019 Macbook Pro.  It does not have an ins key.  pressing fn + return didn't work.

thanks for help.

On your keyboard, click the INS key to escape from OVR mode. Or click where shown in my screenshot below.

Thanks.  I hadn't noticed INS at the bottom of the page.

The overwrite mode on my 2019 Macbook Pro is off when I type an email.  But is turned on to overwrite code when I use Dreamweaver.
