On my keyboard If I hit the 0 in the keypad (which is right next to the right arrow key) gedit toggles into OVR. I also found it more difficult then it should be to toggle back to INS. I finally stumbled on this bug report and was able to get it switched. IMHO it should be more difficult to enter OVR mode and/or easier to toggle out of it.
