Re: [editing] How do we switch the caret between overtype and insert mode? (#55)

I would say typing container.

To me personally the overtyping mode is mainly just annoying, similar to "Caps lock". It's just a key one hits accidentally and usually ends with one having to rewrite part of the text. But given that it's there, and people use it for something, we probably cannot just discard it altogether.
