I've just been typing HTML in a browser tab online and all of a sudden had triggered insert mode (where typing overwrites the following character) using a keyboard on a Chromebook (Chrome OS) - I had no idea how to switch it off so just had to save my draft. I never knew I had this capability and can't figure out how to get it back on. The shortcut lists online offer no hints!
I think I was playing with ctrl shift and alt but no idea what other keys unfortunately...

1. Press the "Ins" key to toggle overtype mode off. Depending on your keyboard model, this key may also be labeled "Insert." If you simply want to disable overtype mode but keep the ability to toggle it back on, you are done.
The Insert key on your keyboard allows you to replace text as you type.
Click File > Options. Click Advanced. Under Editing options, clear both the Use the Insert key to control overtype mode and the Use overtype mode check boxes.
The search key on the chromebook (the one represented by the magnifying glass) when pressed in combination with the period key will engage and disengage overwrite.
