Kile ⇒ Kile Typing Cursor Changes

[swagatopablo]

Using Kile 2.1.0 on Linux Mint 13. While typing, sometimes the typing cursor suddenly changes to a black block and typing anything replaces the characters next to the current position instead of adding new text. I am not sure whether this is triggered unknowingly by some keyboard command. Please tell me how can it happen? It may be some useful feature of kile which I am not aware about.

I don't think this is related to Kile. It happens if you use the »ins« key(insert) (German »Einfg« (Einfügen)). Press it again and the cursor should be its old self again

No need to be sorry... these things happen to all of us.
