I know this is a dumb question but how do I stop DEV C++ from overtyping,I cant find it in the options.
Everytime I want to change some text Dev will simply overtype,like if I was to spell "chese" and wanted to change it to cheese dev will simply overtype the "s".
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
huh, well, that is a basic thing you should have learned when you first learned how to use a computer (more exactly, a computer keyboard)
there's no option or help for it because it's a 100% standard convention, the same way there is no help for using the arrow keys
and btw, I think it's called overwrite not overtype

Press the "Insert" key to toggle between insert and overtype mode.

Its weird,Ive been using a computer for years and no one has ever shown me that,I learnt how to use a computer myself and I just never came across it!
To make it to start with Insert Mode as default click on the option in Editor Options\General
oh, right, I forgot about that option
anyway, that is only for when you start Dev-C++, to toggle it there is only the insert key
