In the Insert mode, if there are more characters than allowed
for the message or macro, the character at the end will be
truncated as new characters are added.
Messages and macros can be 80 characters.
Note: the Win key can be used instead or the Ins key. This is
to accommodate small keyboards without an Ins key.
