    [SOLVED] Extremely trivial question

    This has been bothering me for some time, but sometimes when accidentally pressing some key, my cursor selection mode changes to always select a character upon click like this...



    This is really frustrating, because whenever I need to type anything, the cursor selects a char forcing me to overwrite it.

    I know it's a really trivial question, but can anyone tell, what is the key shortcut to change cursor selection mode (how cursor reacts when clicking on any random point)?

    Thanks in advance,
    Vent

    Re: Extremely trivial question

    You have me completely confused here.

    This sounds like a general keyboard question but you use Excel VBA code, posted in the VB.NET forum section, as an example.

    Are you looking for a VBA answer; VB.NET answer; general keyboard question answer?

    it looks like you've hit your insert key. the insert key is a toggle switch, so press it again + everything should be back to normal

    That's exactly what I meant, thank you!

    Ok...not a problem.

    I know it is solved, but I'm gonna move it to General PC anyway.
