SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on a setting change in the Ti-89 Titanium calculator that affects character input mode. Users can inadvertently switch from insert mode to overwrite mode, causing new characters to erase existing ones. To revert to insert mode, the user must press the 2nd key followed by the backspace key. The INS indicator above the backspace key serves as a reminder for switching modes.

I am not sure what I did, but a setting changed on my Ti-89 Titanium. I used to be able to go back to my input line and add new characters like a parenthesis or a missing number. This is one of the big advantages to a ti-89, however, somehow, When I go to insert new characters, they erase the current one infront of the input line. This is a big problem! How do I change it back!??

Like most word processors, the 89 can be put into overwrite instead of insert mode. Google says you can change back and forth by 2nd+backspace. INS appears above backspace to remind you how to get into insert mode (blue to tell you to hit 2nd and then that key).
