Description

The status bar sometimes hides some interactive elements on the page, and the bar itself is not interactive, so I think that it should change its position on the page when I hover on it, letting me interact with what's under it.

Research direction

Start by locating the mode status bar implementation in the Vimium codebase and reproduce the overlap with interactive page elements. The work is done when hovering the non-interactive bar changes its position so the elements beneath it can be used without obstruction.
