Description
|
In a JTextField and JTextArea currently all text typed in is inserted. The components should also support a replace mode.
The user should be able to toggle between the insert and replace mode with the insert key. The thickness of the caret
should indicate the mode.

In merlin we added support for JFormattedTextField. Along with this we added DocumentFilter, which allows you to change what will be inserted so that it is rather trivial to create a replace mode, closing as a duplicate.

In my personal opinion, the insert/overwrite
mode is one of the most useless things in
PC history. I've never used it - however,
MANY MANY times I became annoyed when my
text was overwritten just because I had
accidentally hit the 'insert' key without
noticing - probably while trying to press
the 'home' key. So if you ask _me_, which
of course you don't have to, I'd say:
don't add this feature.
PLEASE NOTE: JDK6 is formerly known as Project Mustang
