Status Bar

The status bar shows additional information about the currently active document and consists of six sections.

• The first section shows the current language that is selected for that document (see Languages).
• The second section shows the filssize of the document ("length"), as well as its line count ("lines"). Doubleclicking this section brings up the Summary message box, which contains more information:
  • Fully qualified active document path
  • Creation date
  • Last modification date
  • Byte size of document
  • Character count of the document, blanks excluded
  • Character count of the document
  • Line count
  • Size of selection (characters, bytes and ranges)
  Note that the character count and byte count are not a function of each other in UTF-8 (see Encoding).
• After that you find the current line ('Ln', first line is line 1), and the current column ('Col', first position is 1). If you doubleclick on this section, the Go to Line dialog will pop up.
• The fourth section shows the current newline format (see Newline format).
• The fifth section shows the current character encoding of the document (see Encoding).
• The sixth and last section shows the current overtype status of the active view. INS means insertion and OVR means overtype (see Overtype for more information). Clicking on this section switches between insertion and overtype typing mode.
