"Insert":
All text input is inserted at the cursor position, the existing characters in the
file are not deleted.
•
"Overwrite":
The characters existing at the cursor position are overwritten by the
input characters.
•
"Read Only":
The file cannot be modified. Any commands that would modify the file
generate beeps, as long as acoustic output is activated in the
(O)ptions
menu.
If the file was opened for editing
, you can choose between the settings “
Insert
” and
“
Overwrite
”. You can also change the edit mode by pressing [SPC+2 4] (Chord i) without
opening the menu.
Please note that you cannot switch back from read-only mode once it has been selected
while the file is still open you have selected it for. If you do wish to turn off read-only mode,
you must quit the file and then open it again
— either from the Editor or from the file list. You
can then change the
Edit Mode
in the Setup menu.

the file is opened again, the cursor will be at that position.
•

The cursor will be on the line that was last displayed when the file was
closed.
