vi mode - normal and visualindicated the same way about radian HOT 6 OPEN

both normal and visual mode are indicated in the same way, with "nav".

It is expected behavior as long as i can tell.

When in visual mode, pressing ESC takes a lot of time to exit visual mode (1/2 seconds)

it is a known issue of prompt-toolkit. ipython shares the same issues.

Is it possible to indicate the mode with just one letter (i/n/v)?

options(
    radian.vi_mode_prompt = list(
        "ins" = "(I) ",
        "nav" = "(N) ",
        "rep" = "(R) "
    )
)

Is this documented?

uhm can I have per-mode cursors? I would like a box in normal mode, and a vertical bar in insert mode.

As you can see, I am very, very spoiled 😛

is it ever going to be fixed?

I wrote a bug report and never received an answer

No. But it is not likely to be changed unless prompt-toolkit changes the input modes.

prompt-toolkit added this support in prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit#1558

it should be doable, but I don't have the time to invest in it now.

I don't think it is fixable without major refactoring in prompt-toolkit's key capturing mechanism.
