How to change cursor depending on mode

[flamendless]

How does one change the cursor if Normal : block Insert : IBeam ?

Also, to avoid another issue, shouldnt the [insert] prompt show as well?

I'm using termite

Not sure I understand your first question -- can you clarify?

To the second -- yes, that would be a good improvement! Might take me a while to get round to it so a PR is welcome :).
