change color depending on vi-mode

change color depending on vi-mode

[Fabian Braennstroem]

Hi,

I am pretty new to zsh and like it a lot. As a prompt style
I use 'adam2'. Now, I would like to know, if it is possible
to display some information or change the color of the bar
depending on the current vi-mode? E.g. I would like to have
a red line in insert-mode and a blue line in
navigation-mode.

Greetings!
 Fabian

There was a discussion about something like this last year; search the 
archives for "Vi ZLE bindings".

The short answer is that the only way to do it is to create your own
widget functions for all of the vi commands that change modes.  There
is no "callback" associated with changing the keymap that can be used
to update the prompt.

Check this out:

There are instances where it can act strangely, but for the most
part it works rather well.

Well, for me it works "good enough", but if anyone has bugreports
or such: Please tell me ;-)
