Vim: Status bar colour - settings sync

[sho-87]

Currently when switching modes the plugin will change the following for every mode change:

    "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
        "statusBar.background": "#5f00af",
        "statusBar.noFolderBackground": "#5f00af",
        "statusBar.debuggingBackground": "#5f00af"
    }

As discussed here, this gets very messy when using auto upload in settings sync because the gist is updated all the time. Is there a way around this with this plugin, so the settings.json file isnt updated on mode change? Or is that currently the only way to set the statusbar colour in VScode?

This is currently the only way to update the statusbar colour with VSCode hence the constant change in the settings.json.

Just a workaround for Settings Sync users, you can add a comment in the settings.json file to ignore a particular section. See Settings Sync Pragmas.
