Hi, everyone,
The status line is pretty crowded, as you know, so how about making it configurable? Something like:
line: %l / %n\t col: %c\t sel: %s ...
I can write it, if you think that's a good idea.
I don't think it's worth it.
OK, having thought more about it I think it could be configurable as a hidden pref. That way we can hide any less generally useful things like line count by default.
Personally I find the total number of lines quite useful - it tells you quickly how big the file is. Also the space "wasted" by its presence is relatively small because it shares the caption with the current line number. For me the least useful information is the INS/OVR indication because this is already indicated by the cursor. But in general I find the current state of the status bar OK.

I second that. From my opinion: - number of lines indication may be useful; - INS/OVR indication is probably excessive; - current state is ok, it's not so overcrowded.
Best regards, Eugene.
