Hi, thanks for the statusline config.
But i have an issue, i keep getting error key not present in dictionary for this dictionary \ '^V' : 'V·Block'

It should be fixed with the following changes:

" Function: return current mode
" abort -> function will abort soon as error detected
function! ModeCurrent() abort
    let l:modecurrent = mode()
    " use get() -> fails safely, since ^V doesn't seem to register
    " 3rd arg is used when return of mode() == 0, which is case with ^V
    " thus, ^V fails -> returns 0 -> replaced with 'V Block'
    let l:modelist = toupper(get(g:currentmode, l:modecurrent, 'V·Block '))
    let l:current_status_mode = l:modelist
    return l:current_status_mode
endfunction

" set statusline+=%0*\ %{toupper(g:currentmode[mode()])}\ 
" ======== replace with the following one =========
set statusline+=%0*\ %{ModeCurrent()}\

This worked for me:

'\<C-V>' -- is a literal string in VimL.
You must use double quotes to make the substitution work: "\<C-V>".
