##### vi_mode
This Segment shows the current mode of your ZSH. If you want to use your ZSH in
VI-Mode, you need to configure it separately in your `~/.zshrc`:
This segment shows ZSH's current input mode. Note that this is only useful if
you are using the [ZSH Line Editor](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Zsh-Line-Editor.html)
(VI mode). You can enable this either by `.zshrc` configuration or using a plugin, like
[Oh-My-Zsh's vi-mode plugin](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/blob/master/plugins/vi-mode/vi-mode.plugin.zsh).
# VI-Mode
# general activation
bindkey -v
If you want to display a string other than "NORMAL" or "INSERT" in `command` and
`insert-mode`, you can do so by setting the following variables in your
`~/.zshrc`:
# set some nice hotkeys
bindkey '^P' up-history
bindkey '^N' down-history
bindkey '^?' backward-delete-char
bindkey '^h' backward-delete-char
bindkey '^w' backward-kill-word
bindkey '^r' history-incremental-search-backward
# make it more responsive
export KEYTIMEOUT=1
If you want to display another string than "NORMAL" or "INSERT" in command or
insert-mode, you can do that by setting environment variables like:
POWERLEVEL9K_VI_INSERT_MODE_STRING="INS"
POWERLEVEL9K_VI_COMMAND_MODE_STRING="CMD"
POWERLEVEL9K_VI_INSERT_MODE_STRING="INSERT"
POWERLEVEL9K_VI_COMMAND_MODE_STRING="NORMAL"
