Cursor has changed to an underscore, how to change it back?

At some point my cursor changed from a vertical bar to an underbar. I must have pressed some magic combination of keys. Any idea how to change it back?

You can go to Preferences -> Settings and in a right panel add your custom preferences. In my case I added this: "caret_extra_top": 1, "caret_extra_bottom": 1, "caret_extra_width": 4, .enter image description here

'Shift+Ins' in the Numpad worked for me in Genie text editor. It was quite disturbing to see the code overwritten instead of inserting.

On MacOS, where there's no insert key, fn+I may be the best approach (it imitates insert).

In Windows PC You can simply press insert or fn+0 (0 on numpad) or fn + delete or insert.

Hit Insert That'll change it back. You might have noticed that if you went back on code and typed some you'd be overwriting instead of inserting.

Stuff like this happens a lot in Sublime to me. To answer your question <Insert> changes it back. Often I'll hit some keys and end up in full screen mode which is never fun.
