Thu 03 Sep 2020 12:44:58 PM UTC, comment #3: Another option? ... No. If I do that, then I have no more argument against adding an overtype toggle (unbound by default). I do not want to have an overtype mode ever. And I do not want the typing of a character to delete anything ever. If you want any of those things, use another editor. I'm sure that Vim and Emacs can be configured to look and behave mostly like nano while retaining their far greater configurability.

Tue 01 Sep 2020 03:02:28 PM UTC, comment #1: In this case, nano will not adapt to what other editors do. Typing any text should never result in the destruction of text -- if the user wants to remove text, they should be explicit and type a delete command first (^K, <Del>, <Bsp>...). For the same reason, nano does not have an overtype mode.
