RE: How to know if "INSERT" is on/off from key-press-event

[Gaurav Jain <gaurav adobe com>]

Thanks for that!

Unfortunately that feature is supported in Gtk 2.4 and above, and I'm
still using Gtk 2.0.9.

Is there any other workaround that can be used to the same effect?

Thanks,

Hello,
Look at GtkTextView::overwrite_mode field, non-zero means that "insert" 
mode is on. There's also "toggle-overwrite" signal for this object which

is activated by binding on <Insert> key.
