Current issue

currently it's not obvious which "mode" the editor is in in the current file

The solution you'd like

show mode in Document Inspector
show mode in Status Bar

Alternatives you've considered

looked for which mode is active and it is not shown anywhere

CotEditor version

4.8.2 (647)

macOS version

14.4.1 (23E224)

Additional context

related issue #1629

This is a reasonable request. I actually also considered displaying the current mode somewhere, but did not implement to CotEditor 4.8.0 but postponed to the further version to find the right place. I'll implement it within this year.

For quick check purposes, I added the current mode display in the document inspector.

Thanks, I think that's good enough
