Insert mode causes all characters typed to be inserted into the text area, at the position indicated by the cursor. Insert mode is left by one of four events: - Entering CTRL_A (change to OVERSTRIKE mode) - Entering CTRL_G (change to COMMAND mode) - Entering ESC (change to COMMAND mode) - Pressing a function key containing the CTRL_X-code for changing the mode. In insert mode, function keys, immediate commands and interrupt commands remain available.
