You can see the word of INS or OVR on the right bottom side of the SAP screen if you curious about these words lets check it together…
INS means INSERT and OVR means OVERWRITE
If you choose the INS mode then you can enter data between existing data but if you going to choose OVR mode then you will write your input over the existing data…
You can change the modes via clicking the related area on SAPGui screen or using the keyboard insert (INS) button.
INSERT Mode
OVERWRITE Mode

Hi, Can I change the default-Value OVR to INS? If yes, where? Kind regards.
I have never tried this, but maybe other colleagues can answer.
Thanks a Lot.
You saved my life lol
Thanks. This is very helpful.
Thank you so much.
This one helped me a lot.
this is what i’ve been searching for..thanks for your tips
Finally found this after 3.5 Years. Wish I googled this sooner….
You win the internet. Thank you! BTW I had to click a little double chevron in the bottom right-hand corner to show the INS/OVR
And where is that INS or OVR in Quartz Theme?
Quartz Theme has no INS/OVR anymore.
Press option / page down keys simultaneously to change mode. (if you don’t have insert key on your keyboard)
Thank you so much for the info Neil.
Btw. On Mac keyboard you can just use fn and enter.
that unfortunately is not propagated in all virtualization clients properly. Also there is no page down key on Macbooks. My usual way is to change to Blue Crystal Theme and then change it as shown in the screenshot. If there is any way to get it working otherwise in newer Themes with MBP and virtualization I’d be happy to know.
