Status line

The status line is the top row of the bottom panel, directly above the command line. It shows compact status information left to right.

Indicator Meaning
Spinner An animated spinner while a request is running or pending work exists
INS / NOR / SEL The active form’s editor mode: insert, normal, or select
Directory The current directory or path, with the home directory shown as ~
[+] The active buffer has unsaved changes
N sel L:C Cursor position: selection length, line, and column
FPS Frames per second, shown only when there is room

The mode, [+], and cursor indicators appear only while a form is focused. The directory collapses to its last component when the full path does not fit.

The spinner appears while a dialog is loading or the form runtime has pending work, so you can tell at a glance that the client is still busy.

In a ui-debug build the status line is replaced by the debug message surface used for development diagnostics.
