Keyboard - Turning off Insert mode that deletes added text
Hi, I have an iMac 2.80Ghz dual, 4 GB RAM, Leopard 10.5.2.
Problem is most assuredly because I’m a Windows to Mac convert.
Keyboard (USB aluminum thin plug-in keyboard) is in mode where all characters are deleted in front of the cursor - equal to Windows “insert” key being activated.
Checked the keyboard chart for new Mac users.
Fn and Enter do not make any difference.
Have done this in and outside of num lock being on.
This is really driving me nuts. I do a LOT of typing and when I need to edit something, it’s killing me that everything gets deleted instead of just adding text!
What am I doing wrong? How can I turn off the “insert” mode that is deleting everything instead of adding text where my cursor is pointed?
I’m sure it’s something like there’s a screw loose between my Mac and my chair.
Thanks for help in pointing me in the right direction.
