The status bar is at the very bottom of the Editor window. It displays the following information:
The left corner of the status bar displays status, usage, and error messages. When the mouse hovers over certain widgets, this area will display a usage message, and when the source pane is active it will display status and error messages. For example, when you press Ctrl+f, the left corner of the Status Bar displays the search text as you type it in, and when you type Ctrl+g it displays the line number to goto as you type it.
Displays the current line and column on which the text cursor resides.
When the current file is read-only, a Stop Sign displays in the Status Bar.
If changes were made to the file since the last time it was saved, a small red star appears in the bottom right corner of the screen. When the file is saved, this star disappears.
If the current file is controlled by version control, VC appears in the right corner of the Status Bar. If you have the current file checked out from version control, the letters will be red. Otherwise they will be black.
