PhpStorm insert & overwrite cursor style reversed

Question

I am having problems with the editor cursor.

When I enter the code in the editor with a blinking cursor, the cursor styles of insert mode and overwrite mode are reversed with each other on the screen.

How can I fix it?

Answer 1

Open menu "Help" -> "Find action...". Type "overwrite" into opened window and then double-click "Toggle Insert/Overwrite" item which is highlighted after typing. This will toggle current cursor mode.

In Windows, it [toggling] is probably may be achieved with just hitting "Ins" button on your keyboard, no need to find an action in menu. By default the keyboard key toggles insert/overwrite mode in many programs. But I'm not sure it will work because I did not use PhpStorm with Windows at all.

Answer 2

Appears to be some setting with Editor->General->Apperance
