Description
I propose adding the visibility of Vim modes (Insert, Visual, Normal) to the top palette that opens with Control + G in VS Code. Currently, it's not clear which key(like :w or :q)
I'm in as it only appears in the status bar but it would be more visible if open in "Quick Input" Palette (not the Command Palette)..

Research direction
Start by tracing the VS Code Quick Input palette opened by Control+G and the existing status-bar display of Vim modes. Done means the active Insert, Visual, or Normal mode and relevant :w or :q context are visible in that Quick Input palette rather than only in the status bar.
