Hi Peter,
Not being a user of said app, but I needed to find it for Fay who now is a
user.

On a standard desktop keyboard, the key between Backspace and Home, called
"Insert" seems to be the one to toggle it On/Off.

On my notebook, 'tiz in a different place.

Right hand end of the first row (Fkeys etc) 3rd button in.
