IBM Power Ideas Portal
This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

We have reviewed this requirement and we feel it would be a beneficial enhancement to the product. We hope to be able to add it to our development plans in the future.
Here is an AutoHotkey script to help with this issue. Once it is running, pressing Ctrl-i will enable Insert mode in any application. If it's already enabled, it does nothing.
Caveats:
1) if you use Ctrl-I to toggle italics, select a different hotkey,
2) insert mode is app-specific, so pressing Ctrl-i in RDi will only change insert mode for RDi (it will not impact Notepad++, or any other app for that matter)

GetKeyState, DO_INS_YN, Insert, T
If DO_INS_YN = D ;when override is active switch to insert
{
send {INSERT}
}
return
The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a “nice to have” LOW priority feature.
Background: The CEAC members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.
To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT

RDI is the only PC editor that runs by default in Replace mode, just because it was the default mode on green screens.
The goal of RDI is to change the habits of old developers, right? Not to force the current developers to have to take the old habits ...
Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
