As far as I can tell (based on certain parts of the source code and the lack of information on this topic), the display names for the different modes in the status bar are hardcoded. It'd be nice if these could be customized in the settings; The ability to remove the leading/trailing dashes (--) or switch the name to lowercase or an abbreviated form (NOR / INS etc.) would be really handy.

Ideally, I'd imagine this could just be implemented from the user end as options like "vim.modeNames.normal": "NOR" or maybe "vim.statusBarModes.normal": "NOR" or something similar.

Currently, from what I've found at least, I don't believe there are "alternative" options or any existing customization of this particular feature; I have searched for related issues and related options in the documentation and found nothing.
