[edit] Overscript Redirect

Overscript is also a typographical term akin to Subscript and superscript (also underscript). Ideally a disambiguation line should be added; however, I have yet to locate the article pertaining to the term as used in typography (or at least the article discussing the topic, whether or not the actual term is mentioned).

[edit] Overstrike

Agreed, overstrike article is also poorly written and involves blanket opinions and data that is not backed up. The "INSERT Key" Article contains the definition of overstrike mode, albeit only a sentence, so an additional article is really unnecessary.

Article on overstrike mode isn't big enough, or notable enough, to warrant a seperate article, merge it into the page of the key that controls it. 204.9.144.52 15:53, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hate the Insert key

I hate this key. Why must it be positioned so close to the backspace? Agreed, this may not be relevant, but I'm sure someone out there feels in a similar way.

I do. I absolutely abhor overtype mode. I attempt to add a word, and POOF! the next word is half gone. I hate overtype. 72.66.98.55 01:45, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Heh, on my keyboard the Insert key is gone, and the Delete key is double height. I wonder if they'll all go this way... I mean, how useful can the overwrite mode be? Rawling 17:27, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I love the insert key... I hate these recent keyboards where the Insert key is moved or even removed! I use Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert for copy/paste (I prefer it to the Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V) but that shortcut is harder to do with one hand when they move the key (and even harder when they remove it ;) I watch the screen when I type so I have no problem with overwrite mode (and I do not often hit it by accident anyway).

You fools! It's yet another plot by Microsoft to Rule The World! First they added the Windows key, which screws up DOS-based games, then the Right-Click Key, and now they are denying us the RIGHT to use the Insert key! A key so useful, it HAD to be silenced. (I do use it at work, when creating batch files in Edit, or doing funny things on the command line in Cmd.) --68.35.124.175 (talk) 01:27, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
