Show vim status in statusline.
Currently the only way to decide the vim status is the style of the cursor in prompt window. If the cursor is a vertical line, I know it's in insert mode. If the cursor is a block, I know it's in normal mode.

BTW, it would be better if statusline supports to change order of each part. So that I can put the vim status at the very beginning. We can determine vim status more quickly!
Sorry my bad. I just saw statusline already shows the vim status in the right corner in version 0.130.0. Hope that statusline can support to change order of each part.
/statuslinealready allows you to change the order of the elements it displays.
