Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I use %s/search/replace/g all of the time, but the status bar font is so difficult to read I have to put my face right up to the monitor to see it. There's another vim front end called oni that opens something very similar in appearance to the command palette when you press :, and it's really great. I would absolutely love it if there were an option to do this, and my ageing eyes would be so grateful. It aslo seems particularly well suited as it can show the command history in an intuitive way as well.
