Something happened to my cursor in android studio

I clicked a keyboard shortcut by wrong that made my cursor turn into a rectangular block instead of a line, as in the picture.

I tried to undo but it undoes the code instead.

The character flashes then whenever I type something the character is changed to what I typed then It goes to the next character.

Please help. the character flashes then whenever I type something the character is changed to what I typed then It goes to the next character. Please help.

Seems like you're in "Overwrite" mode. Try pressing the Insert key.
