Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

So, I have just one USB keyboard compatible with CMM2. It’s a pretty standard issue “Amazon Basics” keyboard but pressing INSERT or SHIFT INSERT or any other key combo I could think of does not switch the editor to the Overwrite mode,

With num-lock off, the [0] key on the keypad works to toggle insert/over strike.
