Replace mode #86

Closed andreikop closed 11 years ago

How often do you use replace mode? Did you find, that it is missing, because you tried to use it during normal coding, or did you just check it during testing?

I often expect "Ins" to trigger replace mode even in basic text editors.

I use replace mode mostly then the code is lined up vertically (see example in the "Rectangular selection" issue) or when there is some pseudographic (like diagrams) in the code.

I found this feature missing when explicitly checking qutepart enki for various modes I use. Looks like new Qutepart enki have just one mode - like in Windows' Notepad. Only after that I found out that there was a menu entry "Toggle over type" for this (I thought it's just basic property of "Ins", just like Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V and Ctrl+Ins/Shift+Ins for copy and paste... Oh, now I see that Enki also doesn't know about Ctrl+Ins/Shift+Ins... Already forgot the Old School? Even here in Firefox they does work...)

Will do replace mode.

And yes, old school copy-pasting is forgotten by me and by Qt developers, who created standard text box. Open a feature request, if you are missing it.

I checked. Old school Ctrl+Ins and Shift+Ins does work!

I've done replace mode
