I would like to see which Vim mode I am currently in while using IdeaVIM in PyCharm, or any other JetBrains IDE.
It happens that I select a single character with the mouse (e.g. accidental double-click on a single letter) and the cursor then doesn't distinguish properly between normal mode and visual mode, which makes for awkward situations after hitting a few keys.
Is there a way to display the current mode at all times in the status bar or somewhere else that I have missed?
