Insert / overwrite hotkey in Jupyter

Question

What is a combination of keys Jupyter to switch between the insert mode and overwrite during editing?

I have to keep pushing it randomly and then I can’t turn off the overwrite mode. I looked at the list of shortcuts in Jupyter and online, but could not find a match. I am working on Firefox on a Linux virtual machine running on a Mac.

Numlock, numlockx, , , , . Https://unlockforus.com/numlock-linux-mint/.
