Sometimes I hit Insert by accident. When it's enabled, it replaces old text with new text. I'd like if it would highlight the character to be replaced when Insert is enabled.

e.g.
abcdefg|hijk
The cursor is before the h, and the h is highlighted or something signifying that it will be replaced when I type something.
It's actually called Overtype, I think. Insert is the default mode where it inserts the character - overtype...types over the following character.

I think in some other applications (command lines?), it would change the keyboard cursor into a block that would cover the character it's on (and going to replace).

Either way, something to make Overtype being enabled noticeable sounds good.
