Help with selection overwrite behavior

[truschival]

I am used to emacs overwriting and replacing the selection, i.e. if I select text with the mouse and then start typing I expect the old text to be replaced with what I typed.

Using EmacsKeys this is not the case, the newly typed text is appended to the selected, no matter where the cursor is. It seems EmacsKeys behaves like (delete-selection-mode 1) emacs manual

Is there a way to configure it to overwrite text just as it would do in standard VS?
Please help - the behavior is driving me nuts!

Thanks in advance
Thomas

I would also be interested in a solution for this.

Please consider submitting a MR. I haven't had much free time to work on this lately.
