Letters delete themselves when writing: How to solve the problem

If you write a text and delete the letters as you write, in most cases you can fix that with a button. We show you exactly how to proceed.

Letters delete themselves when writing

• If the letters delete themselves when writing, ie the text is overwritten, you have pressed the [Insert] key.
• This ensures that you insert a letter exactly where another letter was previously. The new letter replaces the old letter. This can be helpful when making corrections, but in practice it is often annoying.
• Fortunately, you can fix that quickly by pressing the [Insert] key again.
• If that doesn't help, restart the computer. Then the keyboard is automatically reset to the standard settings.
