-You can also use the `vi_mode_prompt_info` function in your prompt, which will display
-this mode indicator.
+### Adding mode indicators to your prompt
+
+`Vi-mode` by default will add mode indicators to `RPROMPT` **unless** that is defined by
+a preceding plugin.
+
+If `PROMPT` or `RPROMPT` is not defined to your liking, you can add mode info manually. The `vi_mode_prompt_info` function is available to insert mode indicator information.
+
+Here are some examples:
+
+```bash
+source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh
+
+PROMPT="$PROMPT\$(vi_mode_prompt_info)"
+RPROMPT="\$(vi_mode_prompt_info)$RPROMPT"
+```
+
+Note the `\$` here, which importantly prevents interpolation at the time of defining, but allows it to be executed for each prompt update event.
+
+## Cursor Styles
+
+You can control the cursor style used in each active vim mode by changing the values of the following variables.
+
+```zsh
+# defaults
+VI_MODE_CURSOR_NORMAL=2
+VI_MODE_CURSOR_VISUAL=6
+VI_MODE_CURSOR_INSERT=6
+VI_MODE_CURSOR_OPPEND=0
+```
