Description of the new feature/enhancement
Currently you can do both:
Set-PSReadLineOption -ViModeIndicator Cursorand,
Set-PSReadLineOption -ViModeIndicator PromptBut you can't set both at the same time.
Note that this is possible with readline, for example with:
set editing-mode vi
# vi INSERT prompt
# - "\e[6 q" is line caret
# - "\e[30;44m" is black on blue
# - "\e[0m" is reset
# = "\1" and "\2" are used to escape the non-printing characters
set vi-ins-mode-string "\1\e[6 q\e[30;44m\2 INS \1\e[0m\2 "
# vi NORMAL prompt
# - "\e[2 q" is block caret
# - "\e[30;47m" is black on white
# - "\e[0m" is reset
# = "\1" and "\2" are used to escape the non-printing characters
set vi-cmd-mode-string "\1\e[2 q\e[30;47m\2 NOR \1\e[0m\2 "I understand that you can run a script block on -ViModeChangeHandler, but it's not trivial how to programatically change the already rendered prompt when this fires.
