I, too, am bothered with the Ins/Ovr confusion.
I personally would welcome an intrusive pop-up whenever I hit the Insert
key by mistake, as only rarely do I make an intentional use of the Ovr
mode.
Would it be possible to add an option to Preferences, which will allow the
user to select between the standard behavior (INS/OVR or INS in green/OVR
in red or whatever not intrusive) and an intrusive behavior (defined here
as a behavior which requires an extra mouse click)?
