Insert key function - Visual Studio Code

Question

In the VS Code, someone knows how to set up the key "Insert" change the function, instead of inserting the typed characters to replace. How it works in CMD and in some text editors?

Answer 1

This does not exist by default in VS Code. I don’t know why, since it is something extremely common. You can see about this in this Issue on VS Code’s Github.

One of the things that can be done is to install the extension Overtype. Using it the override function will be activated/inactivated by pressing the key Insert, as usual.
