To stop overwriting the next character whenever you type a letter, press the "Insert" key on your keyboard. The Insert key is located to the left of the Home key on most keyboards. You are not warned in any way when you enable or disable the overtype mode.
How do I stop text from erasing when I type?
Press the "Ins" key to toggle overtype mode off. Depending on your keyboard model, this key may also be labeled "Insert." If you simply want to disable overtype mode but keep the ability to toggle it back on, you are done.
Why is my computer erasing what I type?
If your keyboard is erasing letters as you type, you have probably turned on overtype mode. When you type in this mode, you erase any existing letters to the right of the place where you are typing.
