### Status Bar

The Status bar is a rectangle located in the upper left corner of a window, right under the menu bar.

Status bar click | open Go To Line dialog
Status bar press | display document info
Dirty/ReadOnly icon click | open Execute Command dialog
Shell icon click | toggle between shell and text only modes

A pencil icon is shown next to the status bar when a document needs saving.

A lock icon is show when a document is read-only.

A read only document is a document that does not have user write permissions (you may use ls -a to determine the write permissions of a file). Unlike other editors, Eddie allows you to edit read only documents, however you will not be able to save the changes into the original file. You may however use SaveAs or you may Copy and Paste your changes into other documents. Also, if you change the read only status by making the document writeable (say you execute "chmod +w " in the Worksheet or you use the Execute Command feature by clicking the read-only lock icon), you will be able to save the changes. This works well with source control and other mechanisms that use write permissions to prevent accidental overwriting of a file. No matter what means you use to change the write permissions, the lock icon will dissappear and be replaced by a pencil if you made any changes and the document can be saved.

If a window belongs to a shell, such as the Worksheet, a shell icon is displayed next to the status bar.

You may click on it to turn the shell window back into a regular text-only window or you may turn it into a shell window by clicking the same rectangle. Depending on whether the window is a normal text document or a shell window, the status bar will either display the line extent of the selection or the current shell prompt. It is useful to set up your shell (by editing the ~/.profile) to display the current pwd as a prompt. Note that shell window Status bars are somewhat wider to accomodate more information.
