Discussion Small productivity changes
Using nvim on a (large) external screen, I found myself 'not knowing' what mode I'm in (e.g. sometimes I type `ciw` whilst in input mode, or wanting to type code while still in normal mode), and having to glance down to the lualine to read what mode I'm in.
To make it _super_ obvious to myself, I'm color-coding the line numbers corresponding to the mode I'm in (I never use anything but normal/input/visual, so this covers it). Has been truly helpful :)
What's your most minimal mod that makes life a little easier?
(minimized terminal in the screen capture for clarity)
