How to switch between inserting and replacing contacts/coils

[RWD Controls]

It took me a long time to figure this simple setting out, and it had frustrated me to no end, so I figure I'll share it and save somebody else the pain.  In GX Works2 whenever I would select a contact or coil and try to edit it, it would instead insert a new coil/contact/line adjacent to the original one I wanted to replace and at the same time add a new row or column to accommodate it.  This meant that any time I wanted to edit a rung with multiple branches I would generally have to re-create the entire rung and all the branches.  I found that pressing ctrl+insert on my keyboard switched me from this mode to a mode where I could instead just edit an existing coil/contact/line in its original location.  Pressing ctrl+insert again would again switch me back to the other insert-type editing.

Hello,

In GX works 2 you only need to press insert to toggle between insert and overwrite mode. No Ctrl necessary. In the lower right status bar you will see which mode you are currently in.
