Insert / edit overwriting code

Answered

I am editing code in the Pycharm editor, I can't insert/amend text without it overwriting 

 

for example, if I wanted to change the last two digits of this MAC address.in this line (subprocess.call("ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 11:22:33:44:55:66", shell =True) I would delete the 66 and replace it with say 44 but it overwrites, shell =True) 

I want to be able to insert/edit without this occurring

Hello,

This is a YouTrack community forum. In the future, please use https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/topics/200379535-PyCharm to ask PyCharm-related questions. 

I will ask PyCharm team to handle your request though.

Hi,

Could you please specify if it's Python file or something else?
Do you use IdeaVim plugin?
What is your PyCharm version?

I think this has something to do with my MAC keyboard and number keypad in VirtualBox, I use the number pad sometimes and forget it does not work in VirtualBox. When I do that it screws up my editing in PyCharm. I'll monitor it, Pycharm works okay on MAC and Windows 10 apart form the fact it is too slow. I have moved t Thonny as like is to short to be waiting for applications to load.  (;-)
