Like others, I have found this a godsend.
But as an addendum, sometimes I DO want to use overtype mode.
so, between stages 5 and 6 below:
a) click in the 'press a new shortcut key' box
b) press "Shift - Insert'
c) click assign
d) then click on 'Insert' in the Current Keys box, and continue as below
This means insert on its own does not do anything, but Shift Insert will enter and
leave overtype mode when it is needed
Much less likely to do this automatically :)
