- I have never found the current operation of "C-q" in overwrite mode
- useful. I always end up follow up the quoted-insert command with a
- "C-d".
-
- On the other hand, its never bothered me enough to bind another
- command or hack quoted insert either. (I doubt I'd ever save the
- keystrokes spend in making the changes. ;-))
