The custom statusline already shows the current mode with colour-coded [N]/[I]/[V]/… indicators. Keeping showmode=true causes Neovim to also print "-- INSERT --" / "-- VISUAL --" in the command-line area on every mode change, which doubles the information and adds visual noise. https://claude.ai/code/session_01GHYEWxoG5uHqsZM28upN1w

What
lua/config/options.lua:59setsvim.o.showmode = true.Where
lua/config/options.lua— line 59.Why it matters
The custom statusline (
lua/config/statusline.lua) already renders a colour-coded mode indicator —[N](green),[I](purple),[V](yellow), etc. — on every mode change. Withshowmode = true, Neovim also prints-- INSERT --/-- VISUAL --in the command-line area below the statusline, giving two simultaneous mode displays. Setting it tofalseremoves the redundant message without losing any information.Recommended action
