Problem Statement

When the permission mode is not default, the footer appends (shift+tab to cycle) to the mode indicator.
Once you know the shortcut, that hint is just noise on every single line of the footer.

Proposed Solution

A setting in settings.json, e.g. showModeCycleHint: false, that suppresses the hint while keeping the mode indicator itself.

Alternative Solutions

None that I could find.
The hint currently only disappears when the terminal gets narrow or other footer indicators compete for space, which isn't something I want to trade for it.

Priority

Low - Nice to have
