zsh vi mode status

gistfile1.txt

vim_ins_mode="[INS]"
vim_cmd_mode="[CMD]"
vim_mode=$vim_ins_mode

function zle-keymap-select {
  vim_mode="${${KEYMAP/vicmd/${vim_cmd_mode}}/(main|viins)/${vim_ins_mode}}"
  zle reset-prompt
}
zle -N zle-keymap-select

function zle-line-finish {
  vim_mode=$vim_ins_mode
}
zle -N zle-line-finish
RPROMPT='${vim_mode}'
RPROMPT2='${vim_mode}'
setopt transient_rprompt # don't show command modes on previously accepted lines

This was all I needed

bindkey -v

function zle-keymap-select {
  zle reset-prompt
}
zle -N zle-keymap-select

And that added a nice red << to the front of my prompt when I am in command mode.

I also prefer to put my ruby version and gemset in my RPROMPT so I'm happy with this more minimal solution.

Thanks!

Hey! Just created a new zsh-vi-mode plugin, don't you want to have a try?

It's a totally very fresh release and maybe you'll like it, faster switching speed between normal mode and insert mode, and faster key response, bring you to real life, anyway welcome to be the early adopter, please upvote by commenting this post, many thanks for you (vimers).
