   Added one more forum.   
      
   I added linux forum to access more experts.   
      
   In windows 10 how do I disable editing feature "typing overwrites   
   highlighted text."?   
      
   Note that I'm not talking about general "overwriting" so this has   
   nothing to do with "insert key" function.   
      
   If there's not a direct way to disable that feature, can you think of a   
   lengthier way, probably using some software, to achieve same result?   
      
   As far as I know Thunderbird (my newsreader) doesn't provide the option   
   to turn off "typing overwrites (or replaces) highlighted text."   
      
   I know MS Word provides the option, but I want it in Thunderbird or   
   anywhere using windows 10 that one types.   
      
   Thanks.
