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
