Theme-able Vim Mode wrapper

[willeyh-git]

Closes #14093
Builds on #32279 by making it theme dependent.
Discussion #37816

Wraps the mode label indicator in a div and makes the wrapper and label theme-able. Label weight to medium
Mode indicator will render like previously if not theme colors have been set. (i.e., they match zed default- and fallbacks)
Really helps with visual confirmation of current mode.

Did not investigate further if there is a way to keep the leading and trailing -- if no theme var given.

Can be applied either by a theme itself or using theme_overrides in settings.json

Theme colors applied via theme_overrides

No theme applied

Release Notes:

• Vim make mode indicator themeable

Let's move these to the bottom of the struct.

Thanks for this!

I like this approach much better than re-using the git status colors; but I'm still concerned about the default un-themed version. Is there a way to build this where the padding doesn't look wrong if the colors are not set (Which will be the default)?

I'm not sure we need the --, but in your screenshots the version with the color looks spaced correctly, and the version with no colors looks too gappy.

I'm also not thrilled by how many variables a theme would have to set to use this, but I think that reflects reality somewhat...

Seems like it can be done if we go by the assumption that a background color system_transparent, which is the default color for every mode, is set.

If no color is set for the given mode:

• leading and trailing -- are rendered, horizontal padding is removed and text color is reverted to default.

Thanks. It's a bit odd to have the theme change the content, but I think it's the best compromise in this case (until we figure out a better one :D).

Would you mind making the CI happy?

I spent a bit more time tidying this up:

• Pending keystrokes (and ctrl-g output) are not rendered in the colored mode indicator
• The indicator's background now is the same size as the buttons its rendered alongside for themes where buttons are not invisible

I'm not sure if this error was caused by this change.

If you force quit the app, reopening it will retain the insertion mode.

Can be replicated in the current release. Don't think its related to this.
