I do. I expect the Insert key to work this way, and although I do
accidentally toggle it from time to time when I'm shooting for Backspace or
Delete, I wouldn't want not to have that functionality.

Just press the insert key

....and if that works, go to the Advanced options and uncheck the "Use
the insert key to control overtype mode".

Does anyone have this turned on intentionally?

Is there an echo in here? :-)
