Feature request: add an indicator to show we're on takeover mode

[rodrigocfd]

When used with VSCode, Volar may use takover mode to improve performance, but there's no way to know whether it's active or not. One must redo all the steps in order to check it.

It would be helpful to have, in the status bar, an indicator showing we're currently on takeover mode.

Takeover mode OFF:

Takeover mode ON:

Along with other stuff, (vue) should be enough to understand that it's active. If you click that, you will be presented with this dialog:

Which also gives a hint about the takeover mode.

So when packages/client/tsconfig.json is present, it means takeover mode is active? I really don't think this is a good indication at all.

I'd expect to see something like Takeover: on. That would be clear.

That was not what I meant, the version number and (vue) after that is the main point. Personally, the version number and (vue) is enough, but (takeover)/(vue/takeover) could also be a more verbose option.

@yusufkandemir's suggestion is correct, please note that you should be opening .ts not .vue files to judge it.

On the other hand, more explicit prompts can also be considered. In fact, the old version used to display (takeover) in the status bar, which was simplified to (vue) in order to reduce the space occupied by the status bar.

The problem with displaying (vue) is that it's in the same place we see the type of the file currently open, like Markdown or Plain text. So, when I see (vue) down there, I just thought "it's a Vue file".

Plus, we have vue and (vue) in the status bar... which is which?

That's why I believe having Takeover: on and Takeover: off would be way more clear.

But I understand the concern for the used space, so maybe we could have (TO) instead of (vue), which is even shorter. Then, when hovering with the mouse, a tooltip could say "You're using Volar in takeover mode".
