IMO:

- when tabs are shown, add a status line for vi-mode and also put line/col
info there. Basically the same thing kate has, one per view area (when
using split views).

- when tabs are off, put the same information into the area where line/col
info is, there's plenty of space there.

Alternatively I could also live with:

- drop tabs completely and hence only have the second option from above.
