--- Comment #5 from Eyal Rozenberg ---
A few nitpicks:
1. The dialog should not be a warning - as we don't want to deter the user from
pressing insert.
2. We had considered a tooltip, but concluded that would like be insufficient
for properly informing the user who is not aware of what the INSERT key is
supposed to do.
3. "not every casual user is aware of the classic workflow"
3.1 The issue is not casual vs regular users; it's novice vs veteran users
of text editing software.
3.2 Unfortunately, a large number, and perhaps most, novice users today are
not aware of "classical" workflows utilizing keyboard keys such as INSERT.
4. "LibreOffice users are typically more tech-affine"
I'm not sure that is correct; remember we have 200 Million users or so...
but even if it is, we should assume that it isn't, and design as though Writer
is the document authoring app used by everyone.
