The statusbar
Quickly overlooked, the statusbar communicates important information.
The first section shows the current caret position. If this information is bold, the numbers refer to the wrapped row and column numbers, otherwise the numbers show the unwrapped row/column numbers. To switch between these formats double click on this section of the statusbar.
The next section either shows "Ansi" or "Unix". This is the file mode the current document is saved in. To switch between modes double click on this section of the statusbar. (Learn more about file modes).
The third section of the statusbar shows the project timer. The project timer shows the time you worked on the current project. The colored dot shows if the project timer is currently running. (Learn more about the project timer).
Finally the rightmost part of the statusbar is used to show general feedback when you use a function. In other programs the kind of feedback given here is given in dialog boxes, however dialog boxes intercept the work flow of the user, so feedback that does not need an answer or decision from the user is shown here.
