idea for the Insert/Overwrite problem

How about requiring the user to press the Insert key
*twice in a row* to switch between entry modes? That
would make it pretty hard to do accidentally, but
still quick and easy for anyone who means it. After
one press, any other key (or serious mouse action)
should cancel the special state of awaiting the second
hit, so that a subsequent accident is only the first
time. For those who mean to do it, know the Windows
standard way, and don't know of this modification, the
status line could display an appropriate
message/instruction after the first Insert.
