Hear, hear! Maybe we should bind the INSERT key to a new facility for easily discoverable insertion of characters. If they fit, it could also provide ways to insert other things -- buffers, files, the kill ring and registers, effectively becoming a prefix key for all kinds of insertion. This would make the command overwrite-mode harder to type. I don't know how many users would mind that; perhaps we should conduct a poll. INSERT INSERT could run overwrite-mode.
