How to embed first part of the command (operator pending mode) in airline? For example, I'd like to have separate section on the right side to show me this partial command.
If I set this simply with :set showcmd, it's displayed under airline status bar. Is it possible to have it displayed in the special section of the status bar, instead of beneath it?
Outside of :set showcmd, there's no way to programmatically access the currently typed command, so there's no chance to have airline (or any other plugin) display it, unfortunately.
