Description

Since we have more space now, why don't we show the current note type's name too? For example, Basic → Basic (and reversed).

Research direction
Locate the layout file or fragment for the "change note type" screen (likely in the project's UI code). Add a TextView or modify an existing one to display the current note type's name before the selected note type. The format suggested is "Basic → Basic (and reversed)". The change is purely UI text. There is an assignee but no linked PR, so confirm if still available before starting.
