A tiny #vi #readline tip

Do you use `set -o vi` in your shell and can't remember whether you are in insert or edit/cmd mode?

Add the following to your .inputrc to put an indicator at the beginning of your prompt to remind you.

# Add mode indicators to command line
set show-mode-in-prompt on
set vi-ins-mode-string "+"
set vi-cmd-mode-string ":"
