java - Bold black cursor in Eclipse deletes code, and I don't know how to get rid of it

Question

When I edit code in the middle of statements, it replaces the current code around it. I cannot find a way to replace this with a normal cursor that only inserts data instead of replacing it. Is that functionality possible in Eclipse?

Answer 1

The problem is also identified in your status bar at the bottom:

You are in overwrite mode instead of insert mode.

The “Insert” key toggles between insert and overwrite modes.
