normal-state only

evil-quickscope is of limited usefulness in states other than normal and motion, so it would be awesome to have an option to disable the highlighting in those states.

Are you referring to evil-quickscope-always-mode? In evil-quickscope-mode, highlights should only show up after pressing one of the target keys, so this shouldn't be an issue. For evil-quickscope-always-mode, I agree that it can be noisy in insert mode.

@blorbx yes, evil-quickscope-always-mode.

You can probably use something like the evil-normal-state-{entry,exit}-hook hooks or the more general evil-next-state hook in which case you'd check the evil-{next,previous}-state variables to see if they're e.g. 'insert or you could also use the evil-insert-state-p family of predicates e.g. (evil-insert-state-p evil-next-state).

Or maybe something as simple as (memq evil-next-state '(motion normal)).
