Is there a way find out what EditMode is set?

I think I'd like a hot key to cycle through edit modes. Something like this.

Set-PSReadlineKeyHandler -BriefDescription 'swap modes' -Key 'ctrl+m' -Handler {

    $mode="windows"
    if (Get-PSReadlineOption.EditMode -eq "windows") {
        $mode="emacs"
    }

    Set-PSReadlineOption -EditMode $mode
 }

The module doesn't actually keep track of what mode you're in. When you change modes, the key binding table is cleared and initialized from a preset table for the respective modes.

If you switch modes, you lose any custom bindings you may have had.

Given this, I don't think it makes much sense to have a way of getting the current mode.

I added a new cmdlet Get-PSReadlineOption so this is now possible. Commit 964b513
