To remind myself what mode I'm in I have the text-cursor change color,
using the following in my vimrc. Note that the ^[ and ^G here are not
literal two-character combinations (ie, can't just cut & paste those
parts), but Escape and Ctrl-G formed by pressing Ctrl-V then escape,
and Ctrl-V then Ctrl-G respectively.

" text-cursor color by mode in xterm, linux console and screen.linux console:
" normal mode = golden, insert mode = green, return to green when leaving vim
if &term =~ "xterm"
    :silent !echo -ne "\033]12;GoldenRod\007"
    set t_SI+=^[]12;green^G
    set t_EI+=^[]12;GoldenRod^G
    autocmd VimLeave * :!echo -ne "\033]12;green\007"
    " show 'Vim, filename' in xterm title bar
    set titlestring=\%(\%M%)%t\ (Vim)
    " Set xterm to 16 colors (don't I want more?)
    set t_Co=16
endif
if &term == "linux" && !has("gui_running")
    set t_ve+=^[[?17;183;95c  " yellow
    au InsertEnter * set t_ve+=^[[?17;207;111c  " green
    au InsertLeave * set t_ve+=^[[?17;183;95c  " yellow
    autocmd VimLeave * set t_ve+=^[[?17;207;111c  " green
endif
if &term == "screen.linux"
  set t_ve+=^[[34l
  au InsertEnter * set t_ve+=^[[34h^[[?25h    " cnorm
  au InsertLeave * set t_ve+=^[[34l           " cvvis
  autocmd VimLeave * set t_ve+=^[[34h^[[?25h
  " show 'V:filename' as window name for screen (Tip 1126)
  set titlestring=\%(\%M%)V:%t
  set t_ts=^[k
  set t_fs=^[\
endif

Regards,

John
