I see that the mode indicator (<V>, <I>, etc) is the last thing on the right of the status bar. ... Is there a way to put the mode indicator more on the left?
Responding to an older thread: Evil commit fb86c91 adds the customization variable `evil-mode-line-format', which governs the position of the mode line tag. If the variable is set to the value `before', Evil indicates the current state before the mode list instead of after it:
(setq evil-mode-line-format 'before)
Internally, this is done by altering the variable `mode-line-position'. I don't know how robust it is, but if we don't encounter any problems, we might make it the default.
I'm using it, and I haven't seen anything goes bad. I'll definitely report if anything does. Thanks! Alan
