## Implemented Interfaces

TeplOverwriteIndicator implements AtkImplementorIface and GtkBuildable.

## Includes

    #include <tepl/tepl.h>

## Description

TeplOverwriteIndicator indicates the mode in which text edition occurs: insert or overwrite.

See for example the “overwrite” property.

The usual case is to pack this widget in a GtkStatusbar.

### TODO

It is planned to extend this widget to be able to click on / activate it to change the mode, with a GtkPopover for example (but this would be optional, with a "chooser" boolean construct-only property).

With a different styling when in overwrite mode.

Because not everybody is familiar with the key on the keyboard to switch between the different modes.
