[webkit-dev] Overtype mode in WebKit for editable content?

[Luis de Bethencourt]

Hello Sergio,

I personally find overtype a very useful tool in vim/emacs, but it is funny
how half the links in the first page of Google results to "overtype" are
about turning it off.

That said, it is an interesting tool that all major text editors support,
useful if you want to use it and easily ignored if you don't.
