Description

Currently the vim commands are very small because they display in the status bar. The only way to make this font bigger is to increase everything, which makes the whole UI more cluttered

It would be nice if there is an option to have vim commands show up bigger so you can more easily see what commands you are running.

Thanks for making the extension! It is very useful to many people!

Start by locating the status-bar command display and the extension settings, then define the option and verify that Vim commands can be enlarged without changing the rest of the UI.
