Idea: replace abbreviatedStatus setting with freely adjustable text (possibly including none)
Closed this issue · 2 comments
I've played around with this a bit and think it would be "clean" to replace the one boolean setting abbreviatedStatus by two string settings textInsertMode (default: "Insert") and textOvertypeMode (default: "Overtype").
Con for the change: likely will lead to some inconvenience for some users which will "need" to adjust the new setting and get a warning message in their settings that the old one is unknown
Pro for the change: allows people to localize (or abbreviate) as they want and to have the same result as with other editors / IDEs (for example Visual Studio shows "OVR" if active and nothing otherwise - which I'd internally set if both trimmed versions are identical [normally: empty]).
@DrMerfy Are you OK with me to do that change in master? I have 98% of the code already, only cleanup and ChangeLog is missing....
Sounds good to me! You are putting a lot of effort on this project, @all-contributors please add @GitMensch to the contributors :)
