How to turn off overtype or overwrite using "insert" in macbook with no numeric keypad when using the workspace?

Dear fellow student,

I accidentally switched to overwrite or overtype modus. I have absolutely no idea how to turn this off in the workspace.

I have looked through several answers like: Switch Indent Guides in the menu or press fn+enter (which only works with the numeric keypas I believe). But this all was to no avail.... So I am now kind of helpless; in my personal opinion a terminal/console is ***** useless and frustrating when in overtype /overwrite mode and it sucks away all the fun for me : (
