 * Probably delete. It is the mode where insertion occurs. Not as clear-cut as overtype mode, though, since things other than text can be "inserted" on a computer, and I doubt this term is used for those (though it certainly could be in theory). Equinox ◑ 01:41, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, but possibly add a specialised computing definition to insert. Something along the lines of (verb) "To type text without deleting the characters after the cursor" or (noun) "A feature in wordprocessing whereby characters after the cursor move to make room for newly typed text." along the lines of overtype.
