   Do word processors with GUIs usually have such a menu item?

Microsoft Word has it as a user preference option, which is hidden among
a number of general options, and which is used to choose if the default
mode is insert or overwrite.  Other than that, the only way to
activate/deactivate overwrite mode is by pressing [Insert].
