Hello, I've got this hack working in other to share highlights between ViMode and Position with get method. I would like to know if there's a better/recommended method. Thanks.

this works, but the safest/easiest thing would be to make mode_color accessible to the whole statusline like this:

    local StatusLines = {

        hl = function()
            if conditions.is_active() then
                return {
                    fg = utils.get_highlight("StatusLine").fg,
                    bg = utils.get_highlight("StatusLine").bg,
                }
            else
                return {
                    fg = utils.get_highlight("StatusLineNC").fg,
                    bg = utils.get_highlight("StatusLineNC").bg,
                }
            end
        end,

        static = {
            mode_color = function()
                local mode_colors = {
                    n = colors.red,
                    i = colors.green,
                    v = colors.cyan,
                    V = colors.cyan,
                    ["\22"] = colors.cyan, -- this is an actual ^V, type <C-v><C-v> in insert mode
                    c = colors.orange,
                    s = colors.purple,
                    S = colors.purple,
                    ["\19"] = colors.purple, -- this is an actual ^S, type <C-v><C-s> in insert mode
                    R = colors.orange,
                    r = colors.orange,
                    ["!"] = colors.red,
                    t = colors.red,
                }
                return mode_colors[vim.fn.mode()]
            end,
        },

        init = utils.pick_child_on_condition,

        SpecialStatusline,
        TerminalStatusline,
        InactiveStatusline,
        DefaultStatusline,
    }

then you can use surround like this

utils.surround({ "", "" }, function(self)
    return self.mode_color()
end, Ruler),

Of course you can remove the mode_colors static from ViMode component and use the global attribute

local ViMode = {
    ...
    hl = function(self)
        local color = self.mode_color()
        return { fg = color, bold = true }
    end
}
