windows 7 - How to change Notepad ++ cursor


I was playing around with a friend of mine and accidentally hit a bunch of keyboards on my Windows 7 laptop. I had Notepad ++ open at the time and when I came back to see what I was typing, the cursor had changed! Instead of being a blinking "I", it became a blinking blue underline, which I find very annoying. I have tried to change it in the settings menu as well as the styles menu, but I could not find anything relating to it. The text-editor pointer is still a blue-underline instead of a bar. I have the most up-to-date stable release of Notepad ++.


I could post a screen image if necessary.



Answer



Press the Insert key on your keyboard. Try that first. Have you tried typing? When I have the blue underline, my Notepad++ is in OVR (overwrite) mode.
