>> 1) The general problem that I've discovered is still not solved:
>> Users that I deal with the most are mainly used to maskboxes in overwrite-mode. So characters and numbers are expected to be replaced by new entries. Think of time or date boxes, e.g. "00:00" or "00.00.0000".
>> The suggested changes produce a behaviour like in insert-mode, i.e. moving and shifting the existing numbers and characters even beyond the weak separators. This makes sense in the case of just big numbers.
>> For a time-maskbox, as an example, I would prefer the overwrite-mode and automatic jumping over the separator to the next segment to the right side. So that it is NOT necessary to use an arrow key to get to the next segment and therefore speeding up typing a lot.

> Maybe I can use insert mode in right aligned parts, and use overwrite mode in left aligned parts.

> As for automatic jumping: only weak separators are automatically jumped, not the normal (or strong) ones.
