=head2 SETUP
+Vim Mode provides certain feedback to the user, such as the currently active
+mode (command, insert, ex), and if switching buffers, which buffer(s) currently
+match the search terms.
+
+There are two ways to go about displaying this information, as described in
+the following sections:
+
+=head3 Statusbar Items

Run the following command to add a statusbar item that shows which mode
you're in.

+to suit your location preferences.

+=head3 Expando Variables
+
+Vim mode augments the existing Irssi expando (automatic variables) with two
+additional ones: C<$vim_cmd_mode> and C<$vim_wins>.
+
+C<$vim_cmd_mode> is the equivalent of the C<vim_mode> statusbar item, and
+C<$vim_wins> is the counterpart of C<vim_windows>.
+
+They can be added to your theme, or inserted into your uberprompt using
+the
+
+"C</set uberprompt_format [$vim_cmd_mode] $*$uber] >" command.
