keyboard-select: identify current mode

atsepkov opened this issue · 2 comments

Not really a bug, more of a usability thing. Could keyboard-select plugin be modified such that it would tell you that you're in "vim normal" mode rather than regular typing mode?

Perhaps create a bar at the bottom of the urxvt window when you're in that mode? Otherwise it gets confusing with multiple terminals open, especially since in vim normal mode is the default, but in terminal insert mode makes more sense to be the default.

keyboard-select should open a small overlay in the bottom-right corner whenever it gets activated (i.e. switching to normal mode). The overlay shows the position in the scrollback buffer and the current visual mode.

My bad, didn't notice the overlay before
