In CodeEdit, I find it irritating that if I copy/paste anything when I'm in
overtype mode I'm automatically switched back to insert mode. Is there a way
to prevent this from happening and if not, can a fix be added to the
considerations list?  Haven't give it much thought but I think it would also
be nice if the paste function respected the insert/overtype mode and when in
overtype mode it would overlay the text starting at the current cursor
location.

Regards,

Brian
