Hi :) 
For the non-geeks, stripping out the coding gives us

Insert mode is enabled.
The text cursor is a blinking vertical line.
Click on the area to enable the overwrite mode.

Insert mode is enabled. When in Writer
The text cursor is a blinking vertical line.
Click on the area to enable the overwrite mode.

The overwrite mode is enabled.
The text cursor is a blinking block.
Click on the area to enable insert mode.

The overwrite mode is enabled. When in
Wrtiter The text cursor is a blinking block.
Click on the area to enable insert mode.

I think even after correcting 'obvious' typos the paragraphs are still unclear.  What is "the area" that it is saying needs to be clicked on?  Why not just press the "insert" key on the keyboard?  A couple of the paragraphs specify Writer but surely the same thing happens in the other apps/modules?

Perhaps a better generic paragraph would be something like;

When using insert mode
the text-cursor is a blinking block, █ .
Clicking on {the area} "toggles" the mode back to insert mode.

When using overwrite mode
the text-cursor is a blinking vertical line, | .
Clicking on {the area} "toggles" the mode back to insert mode.

Errr, i couldn't find a decent block but the vertical line is on the keyboard, either around the Enter key or off to the far left besides the shift key.

My problem with this string is that "Where in Writer" does not appear for
translation. But it´s also true that "the area" is unclear.

Hi :slight_smile:

The "When in Writer" should be taken out of that 2nd and 4th examples.

I just quickly tested in all the apps except Base and it works the same in all of them.  In Calc you only notice it if the cursor is in the formula-bar / function-bar, whatever you call that big 'white' field at the top where you type in the contents of the cell if not typing directly into the cells!  So, it works in all of them (not just Writer).

Or be added.

If string is common, it´s best to remove instead of adding.

Hi Tom, *,

The Indicator-area in the Statusbar that shows the status of overwrite mode.

Why not just press the "insert" key on the keyboard?

Many ways that lead to Rome.. But toggle with insert key and you
should see the statusbar changing :slight_smile:

Hi :slight_smile:
Thanks !  Good plan ! :slight_smile:

Now that i have found it i can't think of any better name than "the area"!  I was hoping that some inspiration would leap out at me if i ever found the area but it didn't.  Anyway i think i took this thread waaay off-topic and i am glad to see a few people have managed to get it back on-track.

Btw It seems i have to double-click to get into Overwrite mode but just a single click to get back to insert mode.  I think that is another side issue leading off-track again and most people will probably be able to work out that sort of thing.
