I'm attempting to overwrite text by using the insert key and does nothing.
using kde plasma
sudo showkey
returns: keycode 110
on ins key press
xmodmap -pke | grep -i insert
returns:
keycode 90 = KP_Insert KP_0 KP_Insert KP_0
keycode 118 = Insert NoSymbol Insert
when pressing ins on the terminal returns ^[[2~
I don't know how much of this is helpful

Actually it isn't working anywhere, thought it also worked on terminal but I might be wrong. When using the ins, typing should go to overwrite mode tried using it in a couple of text editors (vscode, sublime, kate) but it isn't seem to work, I thought the key could be broken on my keyboard but as in the original post, it is being detected on press.

xev -event keyboard
And then press insert, what's the output?
Do you use anything like https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fcitx ?
Also
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
(in case this is actually a wayland session)
For bash see eg. https://askubuntu.com/questions/641035/ … write-mode

Try insert key in this programs: mc (mcedit), double commander builtin text editor, gedit, mousepad, geany, LibreOffice.

Please use "code" tags, https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode
The input is ok, it's the client handling of the key that fails (though from your list I'd at least kate expect to work)
Does it work in any of the input fields of gtk-demo?
